The document discusses the divergence of vector fields. It defines divergence as the infinitesimal relative change in volume when transporting a volume element along the flow of a vector field. It provides an intuitive definition using Lie derivative and volume form. It then explains how divergence relates to the Maxwell equations, with the divergence of the electric displacement field D relating to electric charge density, and the divergence of the magnetic flux density B being always equal to zero since there are no magnetic monopoles.
