STOKES THEOREM
Stokes’s Theorem (named after the English mathematical physicist George Gabriel Stokes) can be
regarded as a higher-dimensional version of Green’s Theorem. This theorem gives the relationship
between a surface integral over an oriented surface S and a line integral along a closed space curve C
forming the boundary of S.
The positive direction along C is counterclockwise relative to the normal vector . If we imagine
grasping the normal vector with your right hand, with the thumb pointing in the direction of , our
fingers will point in the positive direction C.
STOKES THEOREM
Let S be an oriented surface with unit normal vector , bounded by a piecewise smooth simple closed
curve C with a positive orientation (counterclockwise). If is a vector field whose component functions
have continuous first partial derivatives on an open region containing S and C, then
