Vector Analysis Package

As of Version 9.0, vector analysis functionality is built into the Wolfram Language »

Frequently, physical systems exhibit special symmetries or structures that make a particular coordinate system especially useful. In a mathematically elegant solution to problems related to these systems, often the main step is choosing the correct coordinates. A variety of tools for doing calculus in various threedimensional coordinate systems are provided in this package.
