For that reason, im going to keep this article relatively short, assuming that you have the intuition behind both of those pieces of background knowledge. The threedimensional divergence theorem let e be the threedimensional solid region enclosed by a surface s.
However, dimensional analysis cannot determine numerical factors. Then, stokes theorem says that bd f dr d curlpfqds remark 3. Stokes theorem is a higher dimensional version of greens theorem, and therefore is another version of the fundamental theorem of calculus in higher dimensions. Both greens theorem and stokes theorem are higher dimensional versions of the fundamental theorem of calculus, see how. Stokes theorem states that if s is an oriented surface with boundary curve c, and f is a vector field differentiable throughout s, then. We shall also name the coordinates x, y, z in the usual way. Stokes theorem can be used to transform a difficult surface integral into an easier line integral, or a difficult line integral into an easier surface integral.
