Answer 1

Do you know stokes?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Greene is the 2-d version of stokes.

Answer 4

I understood it as rewriting line integral as double integral but why do we want to do that?

Answer 5

It's sometimes easier to compute the double integral.

Answer 6

how about green area theorem, related?

Answer 7

I'm not familiar with that, I think.

Answer 8

They didn't cover in MIT OCW either but ended up in my homework

Answer 9

Is it this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greene%27s_theorem#Area_Calculation

Answer 10

From my hw

Answer 11

If you rewrite that area formula using greene's theorem you'll end up with \[\int\limits_{}^{}\int\limits_{}^{}dxdy\]
over that region, so that makes sense.

Answer 12

Thanks
