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!
