Divergence of the curl of a vector field

83 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to prove for an n-dimensional vector field that the divergence of the curl of the vector field is zero. I've been toying around with indexing the elements and placing the elements in a matrix but am going round in circles.

The statement I am trying to prove, take $u$ to be an $n$ dimensional vector field,

I want to show :

$\nabla \cdot (\nabla \times u) = 0$
