Homework Statement
Given that the divergence of a vector C = 0, show that there exists a vector A such that C = curl A.
Homework Equations
See above.
The Attempt at a Solution
No clue. Can this be proved with introductory vector calculus? That's all I know, including many of the vector-calculus identities. I don't know anything about differential topology, Poincare's Lemma, etc.
I assume that somehow A has to be constructed, but that's as far as I get.
Thank you.
