GREEN THEOREM

Green 's theorem provides a connection between a

type 2 -

line
integral and a double integral .

Theorem Assume that C is a closed curve and

oriented counterclockwise .
Then

Hete D is the domain bounded inside C .

Remark In mathematics we use the notation

§ Pdx t Q

closed
for a
type 2 -
line
integral over a and

counterclockwise oriented curve C .
