Hello again! We're on the penultimate section in the chapter and in the entire book. In this section, we're covering <i>Stokes' Theorem</i>. Stokes' theorem
|
||||
is an application of Green's theorem in 3 dimensions. This is much harder to visualize, but essentially, with Stokes' theorem, we can find the circulation of
|
||||
a vector field on a curved surface. The critical idea is that, for a smooth open surface `S` with a smooth boundary curve `C`, the circulation about
|
||||
`C` is the surface integral of the curl over `S`: `int_C F cdot dr = INT INT_k (grad times F) cdot k dA`. This has an interesting consequence:

`C` is the surface integral of the curl over `S`: `int_C F cdot dr = int int_k (grad times F) cdot k dA`. This has an interesting consequence:
|

the circulation about any two open surfaces with the same boundary curve is the same.
