NOTE: LAPLACIAN IS SIMPLY THE
DIVERGENCE OF THE GRADIENT OF THE
GIVEN SCALER FIELD if the formula seems
scary
And if it’s a vector field given look for
the Laplacian of each component
treating it as a scalar then assemble the
answer as vector (this works only for
cartesian coordinates system
only)
For the other coordinates system the vector
Laplacian formula is used
