Vector calculus is the branch of mathematics that studies how functions with vector outputs change and behave, extending the tools of regular calculus to work with quantities that have both magnitude and direction. It matters because many physical phenomena—like fluid flow, electromagnetic fields, and motion through space—are naturally described by vectors, making vector calculus essential for understanding and predicting real-world systems in physics and engineering.

Il calcolo vettoriale è un ramo dell'algebra lineare che si interessa dell'analisi reale di vettori a 2 o più dimensioni. Consiste in un insieme di formule e di tecniche risolutive molto utilizzate in ingegneria e in fisica.
