Del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates

ID: del-in-cylindrical-and-spherical-coordinates

This collects the gradient, divergence, curl and Laplacian formulas in cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Coordinate unit vectors vary with position, so taking their derivatives is essential when translating vector calculus operators from Cartesian coordinates. Curl in spherical coordinates is one of these formulas.
