Area with Green's theorem practice problems

Green's theorem: a circulation around a closed curve as a double integral of ∂Q/∂x − ∂P/∂y, and areas from line integrals. 10 problems with worked solutions; in 10 of them every equation is proved by a computer algebra system.

Use Green's theorem to evaluate \( \displaystyle \oint_C \left(x y\right) dx + \left(2 x\right) dy \), where \( \displaystyle C \) is the triangle with vertices \( \displaystyle (0, 0) \), \( \displaystyle (1, 0) \), \( \displaystyle (0, 1) \), oriented counterclockwise.
