Chapter 16 – Vector Calculus 16.4 Green’s Theorem • Objectives: • Understand Green’s Theorem for various regions • Apply Green’s Theorem in evaluating a line integral 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Introduction • George Green worked in his father’s bakery from the age of 9 and taught himself mathematics from library books. • In 1828 published privately what we know today as Green’s Theorem. It was not widely known at the time. • At 40, Green went to Cambridge and died 4 years after graduating. • In 1846, Green’s Theorem was published again. • Green was the first person to try to formulate a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism. George Green (1793 – 1841) 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Introduction • Green’s Theorem gives the relationship between a line integral around a simple closed curve C and a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C. • We assume that Dconsists of all points inside C as well as all points on C. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Introduction • In stating Green’s Theorem, we use the convention: • The positive orientation of a simple closed curve C refers to a single counterclockwise traversal of C. • Thus, if C is given by the vector function r(t), a ≤t ≤b, then the region D is always on the left as the point r(t) traverses C. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem • Let C be a positively oriented, piecewise-smooth, simple closed curve in the plane and let D be the region bounded by C. • If P and Q have continuous partial derivatives on an open region that contains D, then 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem Notes • The notation is sometimes used to indicate that the line integral is calculated using the positive orientation of the closed curve C. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem Notes • Another notation for the positively oriented boundary curve of D is∂D. • So,the equation in Green’s Theorem can be written as equation 1: 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Green’s Theorem and FTC • Green’s Theorem should be regarded as the counterpart of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) for double integrals. • Compare Equation 1 with the statement of the FTC Part 2 (FTC2), in this equation: • In both cases, • There is an integral involving derivatives (F’,∂Q/∂x, and ∂P/∂y) on the left side. • The right side involves the values of the original functions (F, Q, and P) only on the boundary of the domain. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Area • Green’s Theorem gives the following formulas for the area of D: 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Example 1 – pg. 1060 #6 • Use Green’s Theorem to evaluate the line integral along the given positively oriented curve. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Example 2 – pg. 1060 #8 • Use Green’s Theorem to evaluate the line integral along the given positively oriented curve. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
Example 3 – pg. 1060 #12 • Use Green’s Theorem to evaluate . • Check the orientation of the curve before applying the theorem. 16.4 Green’s Theorem
