Description
Summary:The vector algebra and calculus are frequently used in many branches of Physics, for example, classical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, Astrophysics, Spectroscopy, etc. Important vector identities with the help of Levi-Civita symbols and Kronecker delta tensor are proved and presented in this paper. Some of the identities have been proved using Levi-Civita Symbols by other mathematicians and Physicists. The rests are presented for the first time. The derivations are of interest for both graduate and undergraduate students.
