Detailed Description

extract the curl of a 1D-valued function in 2D from the jacobian of that function

The two coordinates are the $x$ - and $y$ coordinates and the one value component is the $z$ -component of the quantity. It is assumed that the quantity shows no variation in the $z$ -direction (thus $\partial_z=0$ ) and that its $x$ - and $y$ -components vanish. From the general 3D formula for the curl

$\begin{align*} A &=\nabla\times B \\ & \Downarrow \\ a_x &= \partial_yb_z-\partial_zb_y \\ a_y &= \partial_zb_x-\partial_xb_z \\ a_z &= \partial_xb_y-\partial_yb_x \end{align*}$
