Vector Analysis Package
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 three‐dimensional coordinate systems are provided in this package.
SetCoordinates — set the default coordinate system
