    This document contains an exercise to verify vector calculus identities. It asks the reader to show that (a) the gradient of the magnitude of a position vector r is the unit vector in the r direction divided by r cubed, (b) the gradient of a scalar function f of r is the radial derivative of f divided by r, and (c) the gradient of the dot product of a constant vector a and r is just the vector a.
