Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around an alternative formulation of Stokes' theorem, which the original poster seeks to verify. The subject area pertains to vector calculus and the properties of line and surface integrals.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the validity of the alternative theorem and its notation. Some express skepticism about modifying established theorems while others suggest it may be equivalent and can be demonstrated through manipulation of vector fields.

I find in a homework an alternative Stokes theorem tha i wasn't knew before. I wold like to know that it is really true. Any can give me a proof please?

It is:

Int (line) dℓ′× A = Int (surface)dS′×∇′× A

First off, you cannot modify someone else's theorem and still leave his name attached to it (unless you collaborate with him).
Secondly, I think that this belongs in the Homework sub-forum.
 
I can't really read your equation very well but it looks like Stoke's theorem written using alternative notation.

I bet it is equivalent and you can show it with a few lines of manipulation.
 
Use the vector field:

[tex] \vec{F} = \vec{C} \times \vec{A}[/tex]

where [itex]\vec{C}[/itex] is an arbitrary, but constant vector in the original Stokes' Theorem. Perform some simplifications for:

[tex] \nabla \times \vec{F}[/tex]

using nabla calculus and you will arrive at your alternative form of Stokes' Theorem.

Well, First, I think that you don't understood what I say, because i don't speak english, so its hard but I try to post, others understood me and have answered my question. In fact you don't understood nothing.

Second, It is a general question, and don't a homework question, my homework I solved , but there was a little part incomprehensible to me.

I don't want damage the forum, but think that is possible stay posting here without to know english, cause there's people here that help me, and it is usefull to me.
Thanks!
