These look like magnetic fields. Mathematically how do we represent these?

It's quite interesting how curl is simply the div arrow rotated by 90 degrees.

Since we can see from the graph that div X = curl Y, is there any other relationship between the original functions X and Y?

What are the practical usage of calculating divergence and curl? I would like to know more about when will we need to calculate these. Seems like when we need to simulate surfaces we should calculate these.

This is a nice visualization of divergence and curl. I don't think I really knew what it meant from a visual standpoint when we learned about it in calc 3D.

If divergence is movement in one plane and curl is another, in a 3D world shouldn’t there be a third?
