Basic math
Divergence:
It is the dot product of nabla operator and a vector field.It gives the degree of Convergence or divergence,Or net flux of the vector field in an infinite decimally small volume of space.
Gradient:
It is the nabla operator of the scalar function.It gives the direction of the steepest ascend at any point of the function.
Curl:
It is the vector product of nabla operator and a vector field.It is another vector field whose direction represents the axis of instantenous rotation of actual vector field and the length represents the magnitude of rotation.
Rank of a matrix
The number of non zero rows in the echolon form of a matrix is called it\'s rank.It represents the maximum number of linearly independent vectors (or equations)of a matrix.
