Green's theorem

Problem 12.116 · easy

Use Green's theorem to evaluate \( \displaystyle \oint_C (- x y)\,dx + (x y)\,dy \), where C is the boundary of the rectangle \( \displaystyle [0, 1] \times [0, 2] \), counterclockwise.

Green's theorem: ∮ P dx + Q dy = ∬ (∂Q/∂x − ∂P/∂y) dA.

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by generator:structured/greens_theorem, checked 2026-09-27 with SymPy 1.14.0.
