How bad is this statement regarding the Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals?

State the Fundamental Theorem:

Let F be a vector field.

If there exists a function f such that F = grad f, then

\int_{C} F \cdot dr = f(Q) - f(P)

where P and Q are endpoints of curve C.

I didn't receive any credit for this answer. Admittedly, it's not very good. I failed to mention that C is a continuous, oriented curve among other things.

But when I asked my professor about why I received no credit, she opened the textbook and said "THAT is the theorem." She wanted it word for word, claiming that was the difference between asking for the Theorem and definition.

So, my question is, what is the actual guideline for writing a theorem? Obviously, she wanted it word for word, but as far as I know my textbook doesn't give it work for word what some other textbook would.

Missing any requirement of the theorem's precept may make the resulting equation invalid. For example, as your statement stands, it is false. Consider F(x) = {(2x)sin(1/x^2) - (2/x)cos(1/x^2), when x is non-zero and 0 when x = 0} and the curve C parametrized by r(t) = x(t) = t, -1 <= t <= 1. F is the gradient of a function, so it fits your theorem, but the equation does not hold, as F is not even integrable on C. Someone who applied your theorem to this case without checking the continuity of F over C would end up with a number that does not mean anything.
I doubt your teacher expects you to regurgitate the exact words used by a particular author to state a theorem; she probably just wanted you to look at the theorem again and see the concepts that are missing from your statement.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
