PX275 - D3b - proof of green's theorem
- this is non examinable
- considering a rectangle with vertices
, , , - taking a term from the theorem:
- this gives the integrals of the top and the bottom sections
- similarly:
- this gives the integrals of the sides
-
combining the terms give the integral around the perimeter of the rectangle
-
for a field
