+Because \(\vec{E}\) is often conservative (\(\curl \vec{E} = \vec{0}\)), and
+\(\div \vec{B}\) is always zero, it is often useful to use \emph{potentials} to
+describe these quantities instead. The electric scalar potential and magnetic

+By taking the divergence on both sides of the equation with the electric field
+we get \(\rho/\epsilon = - \laplacian \varphi\), which also contains the
+Laplacian operator. We will study equations with of form in \S \ref{sec:poisson}.
