EE206 Assignment 1

This document contains two tutorial sheets on vector algebra and coordinate systems. The first sheet reviews concepts like vector fields, divergence, curl, and gradient. It provides examples of calculating these for different vector fields. The second sheet focuses on transforming between Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems for vectors and points. It gives multiple examples of expressing vectors and calculating their properties in different coordinate systems.
