Hi guys
The Laplace Operator
The Laplace operator is defined as the dot product (inner product) of two gradient vector operators:
When applied to f(x,y), this operator produces a scalar function:
My question is how a vector dot product ( del operator vector dot product del operator vector) will result in the second derivative!? shouldn't it be del operator squared?
