Scalar <strong>and</strong> <strong>Vector</strong> Fields<br />
Scalar Valued Function<br />
Let P(x,y,z) which is a scalar is called a scalar point function.<br />
Note: A scalar point function is also called a scalar fixed . = (x,y,z)<br />
Ex.: (x,y,z) = x 2 + y 2 + z 2<br />
<strong>Vector</strong> Valued Function<br />
