We begin with a compilation and proof of the calculation rules of the Nabla calculus in both coordinate-free form and coordinate representation. This is followed by the integral theorems of Stokes and Gauss, with the latter being listed for both vectors and two-stage tensors. Finally, criteria are discussed under which a given vector field has a potential. Green’s function is explained for the Laplace operator.
