In mathematics, Green's theorem gives the relationship between a line integral around a simple closed curve C and a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C. It is named after George Green, and is the two-dimensional special case of the more general Stokes' theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or theorem:

    There was an old man lived out in the wood,
    His trade was a-cutting of Broom, green Broom;
    He had but one son without thrift, without good,
    Who lay in his bed till ‘twas noon, bright noon.
    Unknown. Broom, Green Broom (l. 1–4)

    To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.
