	Stokes' theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stokes' theorem in differential geometry is a statement about the integration of differential forms which generalizes several theorems from vector calculus.
		The fundamental theorem of calculus is the 0+1 dimensional case: the boundary is then the two endpoints, with + on the right and − on the left being the orientation.
		Green's theorem is immediately recognizable as the third integrand of both sides in the integral in terms of P, Q, and R cited above.

		Ray MacSharry, of a memorial at Stokes' birthplace in Skreen on Saturday 10th June 1995 as part of a meeting organised at Sligo RTC by the Institutes of Physics and of Mathematics and its Applications, under the auspices of the Royal Irish Academy, as part of the Sligo 750 celebrations.
		In 1798, Gabriel Stokes, son of John Stokes and Rector of Skreen, married Elizabeth, the daughter of John Haughton, the Rector of Kilrea.
		Stokes' manuscript notes still exist in the University Library in Cambridge, although his writing was so bad that he eventually became one of the first people in Britain to make regular use of a typewriter.

	Green's and Stokes' Theorems: Kalid's Page
		Green's theorem states that the amount of circulation around a boundary is equal to the total amount of circulation of all the area inside.
		Stokes' theorem states that the total amount of twisting along a surface is equal to the amount of twisting on its boundary.
		Stokes' theorem states that both of these regions would have the same circulation, because they have the same boundary.

		The theorem is to be considered as a generalisation of the fundamental theorem of calculus and indeed easily proved using this theorem.
		The fundamental theorem of calculus and Green's theorem are also special cases of the general Stokes theorem.
		The general form of the Stokes theorem using differential forms is more powerful than the special cases, of course, although the latter are more accessible and are often considered more convenient by practicing scientists and engineers.

	The idea of Stokes' theorem*
		The required relationship between the curve C and the surface S (Stokes' theorem) is identical to the relationship between the curve C and the region D (Green's theorem):
		To define the orientation for Green's theorem, this was sufficient.
		For Stokes' theorem, we cannot just say "counterclockwise," since the orientation that is counterclockwise depends on the direction from which you are looking.

		Stokes, one of the most influential scientific figures of his century, was Lucasian professor of mathematics at Cambridge University from 1849 until his death in 1903.
		It is another one of those delightful quirks of history that the theorem that we call Stokes’ theorem isn’t his theorem at all.
		Stokes was the original discover of the principles of spectrum analysis that we now credit to Robert Bunsen and Gustav Robert Kirchhoff.

	The Cauchy-Stokes decomposition theorem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Physicist and mathematician noted for his studies of the behavior of viscous fluids, particularly for his law of viscosity, which describes the motion of a solid sphere in a fluid, and for Stokes's theorem in vector analysis.
		The stoke, a unit of kinematic viscosity in the cgs system, was named after him.
		We read this as saying that the most general differential motion of a fluid element corresponds to a uniform translation (first term), plus a rigid rotation (second term) plus a distortion which can be resolved into a uniform expansion or contraction plus a distortion without change in volume.

		Stokes' Theorem is an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: the integral of circulation density equals the total circulation around the boundary of the surface.
		Stokes' Theorem relates the flux integral of a curl of a vector field through a surface with the circulation of the field around the boundary:
		Stokes' theorem is named after Sir George Gabriel Stokes, (1819-1903) Irish mathematician and physicist, who became a professor at Cambridge in 1849.

		I have been studying vector calculus, and I was interested in finding more about the principles of the divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem, which relate to flux and curl, respectively.
		I never could figure out, though, why they don't just call all those kinds of theorems "The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" and leave it at that, rather than giving them all kinds of different names like Green's theorem, Gauss's theorem, and whatever all the rest are.
		Anyway, if you've seen Stokes' theorem, you've probably been told that it's the n-dimensional analogue of the Fundamental theorem of Calculus you saw in regular one-dimensional calculus.

		C. To get the positive orientation of C think of yourself as walking along the curve. While you are walking along the curve if your head is pointing in the same direction as the unit normal vectors while the surface is on the left then you are walking in the positive direction on C.
		In this theorem note that the surface S can actually be any surface so long as its boundary curve is given by C. This is something that can be used to our advantage to simplify the surface integral on occasion.
		In both of these examples we were able to take an integral that would have been somewhat unpleasant to deal with and by the use of Stokes’ Theorem we were able to convert it into an integral that wasn’t too bad.

		In 1851, George Gabriel Stokes derived an expression for the frictional force exerted on spherical objects with very small Reynolds numbers (e.g., very small particles) in a continuous viscous fluid by solving the small fluid-mass limit of the generally unsolvable Navier-Stokes equations:
		If the particles are falling in the viscous fluid by their own weight, then a terminal velocity, also known as the settling velocity, is reached when this frictional force combined with the bouyant force exactly balance the gravitational force.
