HP Prime: Vector field CURL(). How-to... - Chris Tvergard - 09-26-2013
In the manual p. 327 is an example of the CURL function in CAS mode.
This is the error I get when I try to reproduce:
"curl([[2*x*y,x*z,y*z],[x,y,z]])
Error:"curl([[2*x*y,x*z,y*z],[x,y,z]])
Error: Bad Argument Type" Bad Argument Type"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Is that a typo w/ respect to the open double quote without a corresponding ending one?
1. curl is presumably a symbolic calculation, so you should be in CAS mode
2. If you are using RPN mode, that would also affect the behavior.

This is the error I get when I try to reproduce:"curl([[2*x*y,x*z,y*z],[x,y,z]])
curl([2*x*y,x*z,y*z],[x,y,z])
And it only works in CAS mode.

Franz,
You were right with the double parentheses. That solved it.
I entered the function as curl([],[]) first and then filled out the two single line matrices individually.
Thanks for your help. I can now move on to the Laplace transform after half a day lost.

Han,
Thanks for your response. I finally figured it out. (See below.)
