POSITIVE ORIENTATIONH (Simple Closed Curve): a single counterclockwise traversal of C. A line integral with the positive
orientation of C is denoted C ...
GREEN’S THEOREM: Let plane curve C be positively-oriented, piecewise smooth, and simple closed, and let D be the
R RR  ∂Q ∂P 
region bounded by it. If valid, C P dx + Qdy = ∂x − ∂y . Similar to the FTC. Now we can use one to evaluate the

other.

AREA USING LINE INTEGRAL: A region D has area 1dA, which by Green’s Theorem equals xdy = − ydx =

2 xdy − ydx. This simplifies the calculation of many areas.
EXTENDED VERSION: If D is a finite union of nonoverlapping simple regions, Green’s theorem still applies.

Evaluate the line integral C xydx + x2 dy where C is the rectangle with vertices (0, 0), (3, 0), (3, 1), (0, 1)

a) directly
b) using Green’s Theorem

a) First we parametrize the segment between (0, 0) and (3, 0), which yields y = y ′ = 0. This means our first
integral is simply equal to 0. Next we parametrize the segment between (3, 0) and (3, 1), which yields x = 3
and y = t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. This yields a value of 9. Then we parametrize the segment between (3, 1) and (0, 1). This
yields x = 3 − t(0 ≤ t ≤ 3), x′ = −1, y = 1, y ′ = 0, yielding a value of 9/2 − 9. Finally, we parametrize the
segment between (0, 1) and (0, 0), again yielding x, x′ = 0 for a value of 0. Thus our final answer is 9/2.

b) The region bounded by D is 0 ≤ x ≤ 3, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1, so we have 0 0 xdydx = 9/2.

Question: Why is D in Example 4 not simple? Isn’t a simple curve a curve that doesn’t intersect itself?
