\nabla \times v = \begin{vmatrix} i & j & k \\ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial}{\partial y} & \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \\ x^{2}yz & -2xy & yz \end{vmatrix}

=\left[{\frac{\partial(y z)}{\partial y}}-{\frac{\partial(-2x y)}{\partial z}}\right]\mathbf{i}-\left[{\frac{\partial(y z)}{\partial x}}-{\frac{\partial(x^{2}y z)}{\partial z}}\right]\mathbf{j}+\left[{\frac{\partial(-2x y)}{\partial x}}-{\frac{\partial(x^{2}y z)}{\partial y}}\right]\mathbf{k}

={zi+x^{2}y}\mathbf{j}-(2y+x^{2}z)\mathbf{k}
