Scotland we used curl. I never heard of rot. Although Maxwell was Scottish, the vector analysis notation was invented later.

- xanderlewis 2y agoIn England we also seem to use curl. I’ve similarly never heard of rot.

Throw in a right hand thumbs up for "direction" of curl (fingers indicate rotation, orthogonal thumb direction is orientation) and other results about paths having to have a zero rotation between places with opposing rotation, etc.
