The common definitions of gradient, curl and divergence operators in standard textbooks on vector analysis and electromagnetic theory in the space of continuous functions are reviewed, critisized and suggestions are done for their clear and precise comprehension with quotations from literature

Anahtar Kelimeler

Vector calculus, vector operators, electromagnetic fields, electromagnetics education

VEKTÖR OPERATÖRLERİN STANDART DERS KİTABI TANIMLAMALARI ÜZERİNE YORUMLAR

Öz

Bu çalışmada tüm dünyada yaygın şekilde kullanılan temel vektörel
analiz ve elektromanyetizma kitaplarında karşımıza çıkan vektör
operatörlerin (gradyan, diverjans ve rotasyonel) sürekli
fonksiyonlar uzayındaki geleneksel tanımları incelenmiş, bu
operatörlerin daha net ve doğru şekilde açıklanmaları amacıyla
literatürden atıflarla beraber eleştiriler ve öneriler sunulmuştur

Anahtar Kelimeler

Vektörel Analiz, Vektör Operatörler, Elektromanyetik Alanlar, Elektromanyetizma Eğitimi.
