- VectorPlot - 2D vector fields
$$\myv F(x,y)=y\uv i -x\uv j$$
- VectorPlot3D - 3D vector fields
$$\myv F(x,y)=y\uv i+z\uv j+x\uv k$$
Use VectorScale $\to$ Automatic if necessary.
To Do
See the Jupyter notebook "vector fields" in your handouts folder on cocalc.com for examples of how to make plots of vector fields in CoCalc.
Sketch these in CoCalc
- $\myv F(x,y)=x^2 \uv i +x^3 \uv j$
- $\myv F(x,y)=y^3 \uv i +y^2 \uv j $
- $\myv F(x,y)=(x+y) \uv i +(x-y) \uv j$
- $\myv F(x,y,z)=y \uv i + z \uv j + x \uv k$
- $\myv F(x,y,z)=y\uv i -2 \uv j +x \uv k$
- $\myv F(x,y,z)=1\uv i -y^2 \uv j +z\uv k$
