Theorem in calculus relating line and double integrals
In vector calculus, Green's theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D (surface in R 2 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}} ) bounded by C. It is the two-dimensional special case of Stokes' theorem (surface in R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} ). In one dimension, it is equivalent to the fundamental theorem of calculus. In two dimensions, it is equivalent to the divergence theorem. It is named after mathematical physicist George Green.
