Hours of reading the book and listening to prof lecture and this 10 mins was more effective than all that. And it’s not like Sal had the online video advantage - my prof also recorded and posted his lecture. Sal really has a gift.

My final exam is in a week, I just got assigned homework for the sections on Vector Field, Green’s,Stokes, and Divergence theorem . Pray for me.

[@panikostiritas5216]

Crazy how 3 hours of lectures amounted to me retaining 0 knowledge. Then 10 minutes of this and I understand it like crazy

[@Edgarisftw]

Just goes to show there is a difference between teaching and teaching. Many students, myself included, learn much more from these kinds of videos with a good visual compared to a fast talking teacher stressfuly cluttering on the board.

[@rowanyardley1781]

@@Edgarisftw also probably help that people have had that previous amount of teaching. This 'learning' essentially amounts to consolidating some misconceptions to most people

30% of my exam for university 2 weeks ago was on stokes and greens theorem. Thank you so much for these videos :)

[@EldonSchoop]

When I took multivariable calculus, I never got an intuitive understanding of Stokes' Theorem. Now I do. Thanks, Sal. :)

wow... finally, i understand the stoke's theorem.

Wow I came here for Stoke's Theorem and I get an actual explanation of curl also

[@bijoythewimp2854]

My college didn't reach here. I am way ahead. I lost my faith in teachers long time ago. Sal and other youtube teachers are my only hope and I am contended to have them as my virtual teachers.

[@carmelpule8493]

I am now an old man and over 65 years ago I saw it all in this manner, The Curl is the amount of circulation behaviour around the smallest element dxdy. So if we total all the circulations on the elemental area, we find the circulation around the outer contour. This is no different from finding the total mass of a rod, If we know the mass per unit length then we integrate along the length to find the total mass. I believe that the following " activities have similar/related building blocks/ logic to produce the tacit differences. . 1. Cauchy Riemann relations 2. The Grad operator. 3. The curl operator. 4. the Divergence operator. 5 . Green's Curl theorems of circulation 6. Green's Divergent theorem of flux 7. Stoke's Curl theorem involving circulation 8. Divergence theorem involving divergences through volumes/surfaces, I always thought that students should see the close links there are in how these derivatives are combined to produce their " engineered" activity. dU/dx dU/dy dU/dz dV/dx dV/dy dV/dz dZ/dx dZ/dy dZ/dz and reduced to two dimensions dU/dx dU/dy dV/dx dV/dy .

[@robertmatuschek913]

reasoning for dotting with N. …We do this because curl is a vector whose direction is orthogonal to the Counter clockwise rotation and the dot product calculates the amount of curl in S

[@sbullock2976]

Wow. The simplicity of this explain blew my mind! Great video.

[@larrymendel1]

the line integral of the vector field along C is the summation of all the curls on the surface

I wish I could have seen this video when I was at the university! Thanks Sal!

[@adityaprasad465]

In the fifth example, if the direction had switched an odd number of times, the curl might still be zero, but we would have gotten a positive result for the line integral. So this perspective is neat but has serious pedagogical limitations.

[@Citius1974]

Wonderful! I've been fascinated by Stokes' Theorem since reading about it in Maxwell's Treatise on E&M (Vol 1 Article 24)...This video is an excellent intuitive explanation!!

[@AsiaCrasie]

I've got a question: in that top right diagram, what if the vector field in the middle of the surface curled in the opposite way as those on the outside (aka spin clockwise on the inside of the surface and counter clockwise at/near the line integral)? Would the opposing curls eventually cancel out and give a 0 for the line integral? If not (which the theorem suggests), does this mean that, during the transition between curls, the net curl in between the two directions gives a net counterclockwise curl?

[@abhi99ps]

Its already 8 days since this video came about and its still not on the Khan Academy site. Also, this is not in the calculus playlist. Also, some of these videos are on a different channel instead (sal32458).

[@drtamiz]

Why do we dot it with the normal and not the tangential?

[@kamelalboaouh9595]

how come the "contour" is treated as a surface "boundary"??

[@KumarHemjeet]

[@fabiana37]

I love you

[@anteil95]

Very good explanation, however there's one thing confusing me. Looking at the bottom right surface, if you follow the border, the vectors on the border cancel each other out. But what if there is still one set of vectors left within the surface, pointing to the right (like khan drew it)? What if these vectors didn't find any complementary ones to cancel out with? Adding all the vectors together would thus not equal zero, although adding the ones on the border would. There are several other examples which would contradict Stokes' theorem. Can somebody explain please?

[@benham118]

That's not quite the way it works because the vector field on the surface is continuous and so the vectors as seen in the diagrams wont actually cancel out in a discrete sense.

[@inteusproductions]

Munzu You look at each case separately, not to see if both of them satisfy it at the same time.
