SUMMARY
Double integrals can be calculated as line integrals using Green's Theorem, provided certain criteria are met. Specifically, the functions L and M must have continuous partial derivatives in the region bounded by a positively oriented, piecewise smooth, simple closed curve C. The discussion highlights the importance of ensuring that the double integral meets these criteria to yield a non-zero result. Additionally, challenges may arise in defining the curve C for the line integral.
