gradient_sym(V,X,co​ordinate_system)

This Function calculate the gradient of 3D scalar function

You are now following this Submission

This Function calculates the gradient of 3D scalar function in Cartesian, Cylindrical, and Spherical coordinate system.
function gradientSym = gradient _sym(V,X,coordinate_system)
V is the 3D scalar function
X is the parameter which the gradient will calculate with respect to.
coordinate_system is the kind of coordinate system at which the vector field is specified.
the gradient is calculated according to (Engineering Electromagnetics Sixth Edition William H. Hayt, Jr. . John A. Buck)
Example (1):
V=24*cos(pi*y/3)*sin(2*pi*z/3)
gradient_sym(V,[x,y,z],'Cartesian')
Example (2):
V=Vo*exp(-2*r)*sin(3*phi)
gradient_sym(V,[r,phi,z],'Cylindrical')
Example (3):
V=Vo*a/R*cos(2*th)
gradient_sym(V,[R,th,phi],'Spherical')
