(Start and end at the same point. Are not self-intersecting ecept at endpoints.) Draw picture of region D with boundar. Positive and negative orientation. Definition(s) 4... A simple closed curve has positive orientation if its parametrization traverses the curve eactl once in a counterclockwise direction. 2. A simple closed curve has negative orientation if its parametrization traverses the curve eactl once in a clockwise direction. Theorem 4.2. Let be a positivel oriented, piecewise-smooth, simple closed curve in the plane and let D be the region bounded b. If F P, Q have continuous partial derivatives on an open region that contains D then, P d + Q d D ( Q P ) da or equivalentl F T ds D ( Q P ) da The idea of the proof is important because it will come up again in Stokes Theorem. The idea is circulation. Because we have a closed simple curve the integral F T ds counts how the particles on the curve are circulating. Green s Theorem sas that instead of counting how picture here. breaking up and canceling ecept at edges the particles are circulating on the curve we can count how the particles are circulating inside the curve.

Along the 4 boundaries of the rectangle we get: First lets Top: F(, + ) ( i) P (, + ) (, + ) F ( i) ( +, + ) Bottom: F(, ) (i) P (, ) F ( j) F (j) Right: F( +, ) j Q( +, ) (, ) F (i) ( +, ) Left: F(, ) ( j) Q(, ) Grouping favorabl we get: irculation of Top + Bottom + Right + Left irculation of P (, + ) + P (, ) + Q( +, ) + Q(, ) irculation of ( P (, + ) + P (, )) + Q( +, ) Q(, ) irculation of ( P + Q ) Now we need to scale from circulation on a rectangle to circulation at a point irculation at irculation of Area of irculation at ( P + Q ) Q P Q P And so now we are read to see wh we love Green s Theorem 2

The notation P d + Q d Is sometimes used to indicate that the line integral is calculated using the positive orientation of the closed curve. 2. Another notation for the positivel oriented boundar curve of a region D is D. Fun Reads There is additional material in 6.4 that is covered in the book that MSU will not currentl be testing on.
