Reeb vector field

In mathematics, the Reeb vector field, named after the French mathematician Georges Reeb, is a notion that appears in various domains of contact geometry including: * in a contact manifold, given a contact 1-form , the Reeb vector field satisfies , * in particular, in the context of Sasakian manifold#The Reeb vector field.

11_7_1 Potential Function of a Vector Field Part 1

The gradient of a function is a vector. n-Dimensional space can be filled up with countless vectors as values as inserted into a gradient function. This is then referred to as a vector field. Some vector fields have potential functions. In this video we start to look at how to calculat

1 Vectors

A short refresher on vectors. Before I introduce vector-based functions, it's important to look at vectors themselves and how they are represented in python™ and the IPython Notebook using SymPy.
