\bigtriangledown

The symbol \bigtriangledown is used to represent the nabla or del operator, which is a vector differential operator commonly used in vector calculus. It is used to denote operations such as gradient, divergence, and curl.

Examples

Divergence of a vector field \mathbf{F}

\bigtriangledown \cdot \mathbf{F}

Curl of a vector field \mathbf{F}

\bigtriangledown \times \mathbf{F}

Gradient of a scalar field f

\bigtriangledown f
