evalVF

  

evaluate a vector field at a point

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

evalVF(F, v)

Parameters

F

-

vector field or a Vector valued procedure; specify the components of the vector field

v

-

free or position Vector; specify the point at which to evaluate the vector field

Description

• 

The command evalVF(F, v) evaluates the vector field F at the point v.  The result is a rooted Vector with root point v.

• 

The parameters, F and v, must have the same dimension, but do not need to be defined in the same coordinate system.

• 

The vector field parameter, F, can also be specified as a Vector-valued procedure, in which case this procedure is evaluated at the coordinates of the Vector v.
