In vector calculus, and more generally differential geometry, Stokes'theorem (also called the generalized Stokes' theorem) is a statement about the integration of differential forms on manifolds, which both simplifies and generalizes several theorems from vector calculus.
In vector calculus, and more generally differential geometry, Stokes'theorem (also called the generalized Stokes' theorem), discovered in its modern form by É. Cartan and first published in 1945, is a statement about the integration of differential forms on manifolds, which both simplifies and generalizes several theorems from vector calculus.
