SUMMARY
The curl and divergence of the vector field \(\vec{F}(x,y,z) = x^2y\vec{i} + y^2z^3\vec{j} + xyz\vec{k}\) have been calculated correctly. The curl is \((xz - 3y^2z^2)\vec{i} + (-yz)\vec{j} + (-x^2)\vec{k}\) and the divergence is \(2xy + 2yz^3 + xy\), which can also be expressed as \(3xy + 2yz^3\). The calculations were confirmed by participants in the discussion.
