Hello i've been having trouble finding the curl of
A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ].

Sorry, I'm not familiar with those symbols. Can you retype it using latex?

I'm very sorry i'm new here i'm not very familiar with latex here.
A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ].
r^2 would be r squared
[e][/Φ] would be the unit vector of φ

Here you can find the formula for the curl in three curvilnear coordinates.
Somewhat lengthy but introductory guide to latex can be found here.

$[A⃗] = r^2 \hat \phi$

No problem, many members here are also unfamiliar with latex, but I see you have put some times to learn it. That's a good start and ... latex is not so difficult.
