Let $F(x,y,z) \equiv f(x) g(y) h(z)$. In this previous post, $\vec{\nabla}F(x,y,z)$ was written in terms of spherical coordinates and unit vectors for a spherical coordinate system. The corresponding equation was found to be $ \vec{\nabla}F(x,y,z) = \vec{e}_r…

Read moreWhat is Del? In math, the symbol $\vec{\nabla}$ is called “del.” This symbol is defined in terms of Cartesian coordinates. $\vec{\nabla} := \vec{e}_x\frac{\partial}{\partial x} + \vec{e}_y\frac{\partial}{\partial y} + \vec{e}_z\frac{\partial}{\partial z}$ The right side…
