Theorem
Let $S$ be some orientable smooth surface with boundary in $\R^3$.
Let $\mathbf F:\R^3 \to \R^3$ be a vector-valued function with Euclidean coordinate expression:
- $F = f_1 \mathbf i + f_2 \mathbf j + f_3 \mathbf k$
where $f_i: \R^3 \to \R$.
Then:
- $\displaystyle \oint_{\partial S} f_1 \rd x + f_2 \rd y + f_3 \rd z = \iint_S \paren {\nabla \times \mathbf F} \cdot \mathbf n \rd A$
where $\mathbf n$ is the unit normal to $S$ and $\d A$ is the area element on the surface.
Also need to put this in the form $\displaystyle \int_S \nabla \times \mathbf F \cdot \mathbf n \rd A = \int_C \mathbf F \cdot \d s$

Proof
Let $\mathbf r:\R^2 \to \R^3, \map {\mathbf r} {s, t}$ be a smooth parametrization of $S$ from some region $R$ in the $st$-plane, so that:
- $\map {\mathbf r} R = S$
and:
- $\map {\mathbf r} {\partial R} = \partial S$
First, we convert the left hand side into a line integral:
| \(\displaystyle \oint_{\partial S} f_1 \rd x + f_2 \rd y + f_3 \rd z\) | \(=\) | \(\displaystyle \oint_{\partial S} \mathbf F \cdot \rd \mathbf r\) | |||||||||||
| \(\displaystyle \) | \(=\) | \(\displaystyle \oint_{\partial R} \mathbf F \cdot \frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial s} \rd s + \mathbf F \cdot \frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} \rd t\) |
so that if we define:
- $\mathbf G = \paren {G_1, G_2} = \paren {\mathbf F \cdot \dfrac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial s}, \mathbf F \cdot \dfrac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} }$
then:
- $\displaystyle \int_{\partial S} \mathbf F \cdot \rd \mathbf r = \int_{\partial R} \mathbf G \cdot \rd \mathbf s$
where $\mathbf s$ is the position vector in the $s t$-plane.
Note that:
| \(\displaystyle \frac {\partial G_2} {\partial s}\) | \(=\) | \(\displaystyle \mathbf F \cdot \map {\frac \partial {\partial s} } {\frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} } + \frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} \cdot \frac {\partial \mathbf F} {\partial s}\) | Derivative of Dot Product of Vector-Valued Functions | ||||||||||
| \(\displaystyle \frac {\partial G_1} {\partial t}\) | \(=\) | \(\displaystyle \mathbf F \cdot \map {\frac \partial {\partial t} } {\frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial s} } + \frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial s} \cdot \frac {\partial \mathbf F} {\partial t}\) | Derivative of Dot Product of Vector-Valued Functions | ||||||||||
| \(\displaystyle \frac {\partial G_2} {\partial s} - \frac {\partial G_1} {\partial t}\) | \(=\) | \(\displaystyle \mathbf F \cdot \map {\frac \partial {\partial s} } {\frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} } + \frac {\partial \mathbf r} {\partial t} \cdot \frac {\partial \mathbf F} {\partial s}\) | |||||||||||

By Green's Theorem, this can be written as:
- $\displaystyle \int_{\partial R} \mathbf G \cdot \rd \mathbf s$
Hence both sides of the theorem equation are equal.
