So I'm self teaching myself Multivariable Calculus from UCBerkeley's Youtube series and an online textbook. I'm up to Stokes Theorem and I'm getting conflicting definitions.
UCBerkeley Youtube series says that Stokes Theorem is defined by:
[tex]\int {(Curl f)} {ds}[/tex]
And then the textbook says that Stokes Theorem is defined by:
[tex]\int {(Curl f)} {nd\theta} [/tex]
where n is the normal vector defined by:
[tex]{-frac{\partial}{\partial z} i − ∂z\∂y j + k}\{\over sqrt(1 +(∂z\∂x)^2+(∂z\∂y)^2)}[/tex]
So I would just like to know which is correct?
