The VecCalc package is a collection of Maple commands designed to help with problems in Vector Calculus.
However, it should also be useful to professionals who use Vector Analysis.
The current version 8.0 was written to work with Maple 8 and also works with Maple 7, 9, 9.5, 10 and 11. It operates with either lists or angle bracket Vectors and Matrices. It is designed to accompany the books:
- CalcLabs with Maple for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus,
Sixth Edition by Yasskin and Belmonte, Thomson, 2007. ISBN
0-495-01231-9.
- CalcLabs with Maple for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus,
Concepts and Contexts,
Third Edition by Yasskin and Belmonte, Brooks/Cole, 2005. ISBN
0-534-41010-3.
- CalcLabs with Maple for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus,
Fifth Edition by Yasskin and Belmonte, Brooks/Cole, 2003. ISBN
0-534-39361-6.
Previous versions were called the vec_calc package.
Version 3 works with Maple V Release 3.
Version 4.3 works with Maple V Releases 4, 5 and 5.1.
Version 6 works with Maple 6.
Version 7 works with Maple 7, 8 and 9.
These versions work with lists and the old style vectors and matrices. They were designed to accompany the books:
- CalcLabs with Maple for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus,
Concepts and Contexts by Belmonte and Yasskin, Brooks/Cole, 1998. ISBN
0-534-35739-3.
-
Multivariable CalcLabs with Maple for Stewart's Calculus,
Fourth Edition by Belmonte and Yasskin, Brooks/Cole, 1999. ISBN
0-534-36444-6.
and earlier editions. None of these earlier versions is being maintained.

Acknowledgments
The vec_calc commands were originally written for Maple V Release 3 by A. Belmonte and P. Yasskin. The commands were organized into a package called vec_calc for Maple V Release 3 by James Warren and P. Yasskin. The help pages were first written for Maple V Release 3 by David Arnold, J. Warren and P. Yasskin and converted to Maple V Release 4 by Ken Parker, Jared Teslow and P. Yasskin. The package was converted to a module and the commands were updated to Maple 6 and 7 by A. Belmonte and the help pages were updated to Maple 6 and 7 by P. Yasskin. The module, commands and help pages were significantly modified for Maple 8 to be compatible with new Vector and Matrix types and renamed VecCalc by P. Yasskin with help from Chad Wellington, Krista Rister, Chris Haag, Ethan McConnell, Allison DenBleyker and Jeffrey Yasskin.
