Instruction-based clinical eye-tracking study on the visual interpretation of divergence: How do students look at vector field plots?
Relating mathematical concepts to graphical representations is a challenging task for students. In this paper, we introduce two visual strategies to qualitatively interpret the divergence of graphical vector field representations. One strategy is based on the graphical interpretation of partial deri...
