Gradient, Divergence, Curl, Laplacian and Biharmonic for Various Coordinate Systems

Looks like Mathcad Prime 10 gradient operator does not work for spherical coordinates 😒

Correct.

Look up the help and you will find that the gradient operator is defined as:

That is:

- It is defined for a vector function of any number of variables.

- There is no way to specify the coordinate system, it is (apparently) carthesian.

 

Success!
