Early Vector Calculus: A Path through Multivariable Calculus
Robertson, Robert L.
PRIMUS, v23 n2 p133-140 2013
The divergence theorem, Stokes' theorem, and Green's theorem appear near the end of calculus texts. These are important results, but many instructors struggle to reach them. We describe a pathway through a standard calculus text that allows instructors to emphasize these theorems. (Contains 2 figures.)
