The Divergence Theorem

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften ((GL,volume 31))

Abstract

We have already seen something of the role of the divergence theorem and of Stokes’ theorem in the study of fields of force and other vector fields; we shall also find them indispensable tools in later work. Our first task will be to prove them under rather restrictive assumptions, so that the proofs will not have their essential features buried in the minutiae which are unescapable if general results are to be attained.
