Finding the curl in spherical coordinates

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the curl of the vector A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ], where r^2 represents r squared and [e][/Φ] is the unit vector in the φ direction. Participants express difficulty with the notation and suggest using LaTeX for clarity. An introductory guide to LaTeX is recommended for those unfamiliar with it. Members encourage learning LaTeX, emphasizing that it is not overly complicated. The focus remains on assisting with the calculation of the curl for the specified vector in spherical coordinates.

Hello I've been having trouble finding the curl of
A⃗ = r^2[e][/Φ].
Could someone help me please?

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
:nb)

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.
 
Thank you for showing me how to use latex.Can you help me find the curl of this vector please?
 
Check the first link I provided in post #5.
