Divergence

Vector operator in vector calculus The divergence of different vector fields. The divergence of vectors from point (x,y) equals the sum of the partial derivative-with-respect-to-x of the x-component and the partial derivative-with-respect-to-y of the y-component at that point: ∇ ⋅ ( V ( x , y ) ) = ∂ V x ( x , y ) ∂ x + ∂ V y ( x , y ) ∂ y {\displaystyle abla \!\cdot (\mathbf {V} (x,y))={\frac {\partial \,{V_{x}(x,y)}}{\partial {x}}}+{\frac {\partial \,{V_{y}(x,y)}}{\partial {y}}}} Part of a series of articles aboutCalculus ∫ a b f ′ ( t ) d t = f ( b ) − f ( a ) {\displaystyle \int _{a}^{b}f'(t)\,dt=f(b)-f(a)} Fundamental theorem Limits Continuity Rolle's theorem Mean value theorem Inverse function theorem Differential Definitions Derivative (generalizations) Differential infinitesimal of a function total Concepts Differentiation notation Second derivative Implicit differentiation Logarithmic differentiation Related rates Taylor's theorem Rules and identities Sum Product Chain Power Quotient L'Hôpital's rule Inverse General Leibniz Faà di Bruno's formula Reynolds Integral Lists of integrals Integral transform Leibniz integral rule Definitions Antiderivative Int
