Green's Theorem - Relationship To The Stokes Theorem

Relationship To The Stokes Theorem

Green's theorem is a special case of the Kelvin–Stokes theorem, when applied to a region in the xy-plane:

We can augment the two-dimensional field into a three-dimensional field with a z component that is always 0. Write F for the vector-valued function . Start with the left side of Green's theorem:

Kelvin–Stokes Theorem:

The surface is just the region in the plane, with the unit normals pointing up (in the positive z direction) to match the "positive orientation" definitions for both theorems.

The expression inside the integral becomes

Thus we get the right side of Green's theorem

    Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.
    Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)

    Most childhood problems don’t result from “bad” parenting, but are the inevitable result of the growing that parents and children do together. The point isn’t to head off these problems or find ways around them, but rather to work through them together and in doing so to develop a relationship of mutual trust to rely on when the next problem comes along.
    Fred Rogers (20th century)

    Some pray to marry the man they love,
    My prayer will somewhat vary;
    I humbly pray to Heaven above
    That I love the man I marry.
    —Rose Pastor Stokes (1879–1933)

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