    This document uses Stokes' Theorem to evaluate a surface integral where the surface S is the part of the sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 4 above the plane z=0, and the boundary curve C is the circle of radius 2 in the plane z=0. It shows that using Stokes' Theorem, the surface integral can be written as a line integral around C. It then parameterizes C as a circle and finds the vector field and derivative of the parameterization to evaluate the line integral.
