Green's theoremMathematics nounA theorem relating a line integral around a closed curve to a double integral over the region bounded by the curve, or a double integral over a closed surface to a triple integral over the volume bounded by the surface.- Green's theorem is a special case of Stokes' theorem (for curves in the plane), and of the divergence theorem (for functions of two variables). A common representation is ∫∫S F · i dS = ∫∫∫V∇ · F _dV, where i is a unit vector normal to dS.The theorem was described by Green in his book Ess. Applic. Math. Anal. Theories Electr. & Magnetism (1828)..
Origin Mid 19th century; earliest use found in William Thomson (1819–1890), archbishop of York. |
