For example, consider the forward curl, at (m, n, p), of a back-vector field `g`, defined
on a grid containing (m + 1/2, n + 1/2, p + 1/2).
The curl will be a fore-vector, so its z-component will be defined at (m, n, p + 1/2).
Take the nearest x- and y-components of `g` in the xy plane where the curl's z-component
is located; these are
[curl components]
(m, n + 1/2, p + 1/2) : x-component of back-vector at (m + 1/2, n + 1/2, p + 1/2)
(m + 1, n + 1/2, p + 1/2) : x-component of back-vector at (m + 3/2, n + 1/2, p + 1/2)
(m + 1/2, n , p + 1/2) : y-component of back-vector at (m + 1/2, n + 1/2, p + 1/2)
(m + 1/2, n + 1 , p + 1/2) : y-component of back-vector at (m + 1/2, n + 3/2, p + 1/2)
These four xy-components can be used to form a loop around the curl's z-component; its magnitude and sign
is set by their loop-oriented sum (i.e. two have their signs flipped to complete the loop).

Maxwell's Equations
===================
If we discretize both space (m,n,p) and time (l), Maxwell's equations become
$$ \\begin{align*}
\\tilde{\\nabla} \\times \\tilde{E}_{l,\\vec{r}} &=& -&\\tilde{\\partial}_t \\hat{B}_{l-\\frac{1}{2}, \\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2}}
&+& \\hat{M}_{l-1, \\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2}} \\\\
\\hat{\\nabla} \\times \\hat{H}_{l,\\vec{r}} &=& &\\hat{\\partial}_t \\tilde{D}_{l, \\vec{r}}
&+& \\tilde{J}_{l-\\frac{1}{2},\\vec{r}} \\\\
\\tilde{\\nabla} \\cdot \\hat{B}_{l-\\frac{1}{2}, \\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2}} &= 0 \\\\
\\hat{\\nabla} \\cdot \\tilde{D}_{l,\\vec{r}} &= \\rho_{l,\\vec{r}}
\\end{align*} $$
with
$$ \\begin{align*}
\\hat{B}_\\vec{r} &= \\mu_{\\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2}} \\cdot \\hat{H}_{\\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2}} \\\\
\\tilde{D}_\\vec{r} &= \\epsilon_\\vec{r} \\cdot \\tilde{E}_\\vec{r}
\\end{align*} $$
where the spatial subscripts are abbreviated as \\( \\vec{r} = (m, n, p) \\) and
\\( \\vec{r} + \\frac{1}{2} = (m + \\frac{1}{2}, n + \\frac{1}{2}, p + \\frac{1}{2}) \\).
This is Yee's algorithm, written in a form analogous to Maxwell's equations.
The divergence equations can be derived by taking the divergence of the curl equations
and combining them with charge continuity,
$$ \\hat{\\nabla} \\cdot \\tilde{J} + \\hat{\\partial}_t \\rho = 0 $$
implying that the discrete Maxwell's equations do not produce spurious charges.
