in which field vector calculus is applied deeply
Vector calculus is applied in electrical engineering especially with the use of electromagnetics. It is also applied in fluid dynamics, as well as statics.
Mechanical engineering usually deals with forces and their effects on materials. Forces are vectors and so, to study their effects you need to use vector calculus.
Depends on how difficult you find Physics and Calculus.
These are the general math courses in an undergraduate program of Mechanical Engineering. Actually, these are also the math courses required in ANY undergraduate Engineering curriculum: Algebra Trigonometry Analytic Geometry Differential Calculus Integral Calculus Mutivariable Calculus Differential Equations
Engineering curriculums will vary from school to school. In general, the programs in the major universities require students to take courses in mathematics for the first 2 years of a 4 year program. This is likely to include calculus, advanced calculus and differential equations. Additional applied mathematics knowledge may be necessary in the third and fourth years of study, but this may be taught by the mechanical engineering department.
Those planning for careers in mechanical engineering typically enroll in engineering programs in college. Courses you can expect to take include calculus, chemistry, and physics.
You need to take up to 4 years of calculus, as well as many science classes in physics and chemistry. Classes in algebra and trigonometry may be prerequisites for calculus.
It is a tool for an engineer. I am a mechanical engineer, and you MUST know your calculus to be able to get through it, or through physics with calc. Good luck!

Everything. If you study mech engineering you will take two years of calculus and calculus based physics before you can get accepted into the engineering college at your university. After you get into the college you will use your math skills in almost every course you take, and you will take even more math.
