Student/VectorCalculus/About

Student[VectorCalculus][About] - return information on a Student[VectorCalculus] object

	Calling Sequence
	About(v)

Parameters

any kind of Vector or a VectorSpace module

Description

•	The About(v) command returns the type and all relevant data of a Student[VectorCalculus] object in human readable format.

•	The Student[VectorCalculus] package uses the same Vector data structures as the VectorCalculus package. For details about the various types of Vectors in these packages, see VectorCalculus,Details.
