Homework Statement
Show using Stoke's Theorem that
S is an open surface with boundary C (a space curve). [tex]f(\vec r)[/tex] is a scalar field.
Homework Equations
Stoke's theorem [tex]\iint_S (\nabla\times \vec F) \cdot d\vec S = \int_C F \cdot d\vec r[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Thus far I've tried evaluating [tex] (\nabla f)\times d\vec S[/tex] by taking components in various ways and then trying to force it to become something that I can take the curl of... with no success at all. I'm completely stumped now.
