Whats the difference between greens theorem and stokes. Divergence we stated greens theorem for a region enclosed by a simple closed curve. In fact, greens theorem may very well be regarded as a direct application of this fundamental theorem. Greens theorem implies the divergence theorem in the plane. By changing the line integral along c into a double integral over r, the problem is immensely simplified.
