Remember this form of Green's Theorem:
⇀ ⇀ ˆ dA
∲F·dr⇀= ∫∫ ∇⨯F·k
C R
where ⇀
F(x,y) = M(x,y)iˆ + N(x,y)j,ˆ
Stokes's Theorem
⇀ ˆ ˆ ˆ
For F(x,y,z) = M(x,y,z)i+N(x,y,z)j+P(x,y,z)k,

EX 1 Verify Stokes's Theorem for F = y2iˆ - xjˆ + 5zkˆ if
S is the paraboloid z = x2 + y2
with the circle x2 + y2 = 1 as its boundary.
