In mathematics, the curl of a vector is the maximum rotation on a vector field, oriented perpendicularly to the certain plane. The curl of a vector is defined by this form:

∇ x F =

[i . . . . j . . . . . k]

[∂/∂x ∂/∂y ∂/∂z]

[P. . . Q. . . .R. . ]

...given that F = <P,Q,R> or Pi + Qj + Rk

Perform the cross-product of the terms to obtain:

∇ x F = (∂R/∂y - ∂Q/∂z)i + (∂P/∂z - ∂R/∂x)j + (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)k
