This article is about the theorem in the plane relating double integrals and line integrals. For Green's theorems relating volume integrals involving the Laplacian to surface integrals, see Green's identities.
Not to be confused with Green's law for waves approaching a shoreline.
In vector calculus, Green's theorem relates a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D bounded by C. It is the two-dimensional special case of Stokes' theorem.
