Hey @luisaFelixSalles , on the topic of an example for Field,
I think an example dedicated to mathematical operations on Fields would be good, as shown in the email from Ramdane.

It should show basic matrix operations, including combining different Fields into a single one with multiple components.

Yes I agree. It's one of my suggestions on the #1694 on the "math operators" example.

Layout changes

• Use of grid instead of card carrousel (so we can always see the options in the cards)

[PProfizi]

Hey Luisa could we list the need for a tutorial on Units and homogeneity please.

@luisaFelixSalles can we add in required tutorials a section or a tutorial for mathematical operations on Fields.
A bit like your example, but with more explanations regarding things such as *, +, -.
