Vector Calculus in Maple with References to Transport
Phenomena.[1]
This webpage is a tutorial in applying Maple's packages for Vector Calculus, vectors, and matrices in general. The Tensor and the LinearAlgebra packages are also demonstrated in less depth. If anyone is taking Multivariable Calculus, you might want to get an even better understanding of relevant commands by typing ? Vector Calculus in the Maple command line. Of the items that the help program lists in the side bar, there is a built-in example worksheet to provide a better understanding of the basics.
