Question

EXAMPLES OF VECTOR CALCULUS IN REAL LIFE AND IN ENGINEERING

Answer 1

Air speed/direction on a weather map.

Fluid velocity (and flux) vector fields in various chemE, mechE, and nukeE applications.

In Games, vectors are used to store positions directions and velocities.

The position vectors indicates how far the object is.

The velocity vector indicates how much time it will take or how much force we should give.

The direction vector indicates in which way we should apply the force.

Vector calculus is used in machine learning algorithms that may need to optimize multiple values.

Modern day computer programming and graphics.
