vector field
Sign in to saveassignment of a vector to each point in a subset of Euclidean space
AI overview
A vector field is a mathematical tool that assigns a direction and magnitude (like an arrow) to every point in a space, allowing us to describe things like how wind speed and direction vary across a region. This matters because vector fields help us model and understand physical phenomena such as air flow, water currents, gravity, and electromagnetic forces.
