Gradient
The gradient is a vector that represents the rate of change of a scalar function with respect to each coordinate. In other words, it points in the direction of the steepest ascent of the function.
Curl
The curl of a vector field is a scalar quantity that describes how the vector field "tends" to curl up or down. In simpler terms, it tells you how the vector field "winds" around closed curves.
Divergence
The divergence of a vector field is a scalar quantity that describes how the vector field "tends" to "flow" around closed curves. In simpler terms, it tells you how the vector field "pushes" or "drains" fluid through a surface
