Let be a vector field in cylindrical coordinates.
From Table 9.3.3, the curl of F is given by
≡
From Table 9.3.2, the divergence of is given by . Table 9.4.5(a) takes each term separately.

Careful matching of terms and the equality of mixed partials leads to the vanishing of the sum of terms in Table 9.4.5(b).
