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

“Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has to the book I am reading.”

“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)
