Students’ understanding of two-variable calculus concepts in mathematics and physics contexts. II. The gradient and the Laplacian

When learning physics, students need more than just an understanding of mathematical and physical concepts. Integrating the two fields is crucial, as research indicates that students often struggle even when they have a strong grasp of both. In this paper, we use the heat equation as an example from...
