A vector field on 1r2 is a function f. F {i -) l that assigns to each point (x, y) e d a vector. F(x , y) = p(x , y)i+q(x , y)j (p(x , y) , q(x, y)) or in short, f = (p, q). P , q are scalar func- tions of two variables, and are called scalar fields to distinguish them from vector fields. fl,4- ~ of ff, v~dqr (x,y) 0: definition 2: let e c jr3 .
