Hi

I'd like to know who is the mathematician or physicist that create line integral, I've always studied how calculate it, but Who can that be, I wonder?




Thanks
Alfonso.

I don't think it has a single inventor, but certain people (Green, Stokes, Maxwell, etc.) definitely developed it more. A lot of concepts in math don't have a single inventor. Even though Newton and Leibniz "invented calculus", the ideas were present since the Greeks.
