Editors’ Foreword
Mathematics hasbeen expanding inalldirections atafabulous
rateduring thepast halfcentury. New fields have emerged,
thediffusion into other disciplines hasproceeded apace, and
ourknowledge oftheclassical areas hasgrown ever more pro-
found. Atthesame time, oneofthemost striking trends in
modern mathematics istheconstantly increasing interrelation-
ship between itsvarious branches. Thus thepresent-day
students ofmathematics arefaced with animmense mountain
ofmaterial. Inaddition tothetraditional areas ofmathe-
matics aspresented inthe traditional manner—and these
presentations doabound—there arethenew and often en-
lightening ways oflooking atthese traditional areas, andalso
thevast new areas teeming with potentialities. Much ofthis
newmaterial isscattered indigestibly throughout theresearch
journals, and frequently coherently organized only inthe
minds orunpublished notes oftheworking mathematicians.
And students desperately need tolearn more andmore ofthis
material.
This series ofbrief topical booklets hasbeen conceived asa
possible means totackle and hopefully toalleviate some of
‘U
vi Editors’ Foreword
these pedagogical problems. They arebeing written byactive
research mathematicians, who canlook atthelatest develop-
ments, who canusethese developments toclarify and con-
dense therequired material, who know what ideas tounder-
score and what techniques tostress. Wehope that they will
alsoserve topresent totheableundergraduate anintroduction
tocontemporary research andproblems inmathematics, and
that they willbesufficiently informal that thepersonal tastes
andattitudes oftheleaders inmodern mathematics willshine
through clearly tothereaders.
The area ofdifferential geometry isone inwhich recent
developments have effected great changes. That part of
differential geometry centered about Stokes’ Theorem, some-
times called thefundamental theorem ofmultivariate calculus,
istraditionally taught inadvanced calculus courses (second or
third year) andisessential inengineering andphysics aswell
asinseveral current andimportant branches ofmathematics.
However, the teaching ofthis material has been relatively
little affected bythese modern developments; sothemathe-
maticians must relearn thematerial ingraduate school, and
other scientists arefrequently altogether deprived ofit.Dr.
Spivak’s book should beahelp tothose who wish tosee
Stoke’s Theorem asthemodern Working mathematician sees
it.Astudent with agood course incalculus andlinear algebra
behind himshould findthisbook quite accessible.

Preface
This little book isespecially concerned with those portions of
“advanced calculus” inwhich thesubtlety oftheconcepts and
methods makes rigor diflicult toattain atanelementary level.
Theapproach taken here uses elementary versions ofmodern
methods found insophisticated .mathematics. The formal
prerequisites include only aterm oflinear algebra, anodding
acquaintance with thenotation ofsettheory, andarespectable
first-year calculus course (one which atleast mentions the
least upper bound (sup) andgreatest lower bound (inf) ofa
setofreal numbers). Beyond this acertain (perhaps latent)
rapport with abstract mathematics will befound almost
essential.
The first half ofthebook covers that simple part ofad-
vanced calculus which generalizes elementary calculus to
higher dimensions. Chapter 1contains preliminaries, and
Chapters 2and3treat differentiation andintegration.
The remainder ofthebook isdevoted tothestudy ofcurves,
surfaces, andhigher-dimensional analogues. Here themodern
andclassical treatments pursue quite different routes; there are,
ofcourse, many points ofcontact, andasignificant encounter
‘I711
mu Preface
occurs inthelastsection. Thevery classical equation repro-
duced onthecover appears also asthelasttheorem ofthe
book. This theorem (Stokes’ Theorem) has had acurious
history andhasundergone astriking metamorphosis.
Thefirst statement oftheTheorem appears asapostscript
toaletter, dated July 2,1850, from SirWilliam Thomson
(Lord Kelvin) toStokes. Itappeared publicly asquestion 8
ontheSmith’s Prize Examination for1854. This competitive
examination, which was taken annually bythebest mathe-
matics students atCambridge University, wassetfrom 1849 to
1882 byProfessor Stokes; bythetime ofhisdeath theresult
was known universally asStokes’ Theorem. Atleast three
proofs were given byhiscontemporaries: Thomson published
one, another appeared inThomson and Tait’s Treatise on
Natural Philosophy, and Maxwell provided another inElec-
tricity and Magnetism [13]. Since this time thename of
Stokes hasbeen applied tomuch more general results, which
have figured soprominently inthe development ofcertain
parts ofmathematics that Stokes’ Theorem may becon-
sidered acase study inthevalue ofgeneralization.
Inthis book there arethree forms ofStokes’ Theorem.
Theversion known toStokes appears inthelastsection, along
with itsinseparable companions, Green’s Theorem and the
Divergence Theorem. These three theorems, theclassical
theorems ofthe subtitle, are derived quite easily from a
modern Stokes’ Theorem which appears earlier inChapter 5.
What theclassical theorems state forcurves andsurfaces, this
theorem states forthehigher-dimensional analogues (mani-
folds) which arestudied thoroughly inthefirstpart ofChapter
5.This study ofmanifolds, which could bejustified solely on
thebasis oftheir importance inmodern mathematics, actually
involves nomore effort than acareful study ofcurves andsur-
faces alone would require.
The reader probably suspects that the modern Stokes’
Theorem isatleast asdiflicult astheclassical theorems
derived from it.Onthecontrary, itisavery simple con-
sequence ofyetanother version ofStokes’ Theorem; thisvery
abstract version isthefinal and main result ofChapter 4.
Preface ix
Itisentirely reasonable tosuppose that thedifficulties sofar
avoided must behidden here. Yet theproof ofthis theorem
is,inthemathematician’s sense, anutter triviality--—a straight-
forward computation. Ontheother hand, even thestatement
ofthis triviality cannot beunderstood without ahorde of
difficult definitions from Chapter 4.There aregood reasons
why thetheorems should allbeeasy andthedefinitions hard.
Astheevolution ofStokes’ Theorem revealed, asingle simple
principle canmasquerade asseveral difficult results; theproofs
ofmany theorems involve merely stripping away thedisguise.
The definitions, ontheother hand, serve atwofold purpose:
they are rigorous replacements for vague notions, and
machinery forelegant proofs. The first two sections of
Chapter 4define precisely, and prove therules formanipulat-
ing,what areclassically described as“expressions oftheform”
Pdx -1-Qdy +Rdz,orPd:cdy +Qdydz +Rdzdaz. Chains,
defined inthethird section, and partitions ofunity (already
introduced inChapter 3)freeourproofs from thenecessity of
chopping manifolds upintosmall pieces; they reduce questions
about manifolds, where everything seems hard, toquestions
about Euclidean space, where everything iseasy.
Concentrating thedepth ofasubject inthedefinitions is
undeniably economical, but itisbound toproduce some
difficulties forthestudent. Ihope thereader will beencour-
aged tolearn Chapter 4thoroughly bytheassurance that the
results willjustify theeffort: theclassical theorems ofthelast
section represent only afew, and bynomeans themost im-
portant, applications ofChapter 4;many others appear as
problems, andfurther developments willbefound byexploring
thebibliography.
The problems and thebibliography both deserve afew
words. Problems appear after every section and arenum-
bered (like the theorems) within chapters. Ihave starred
those problems whose results areused inthetext, but this
precaution should beunnecessary-——the problems arethemost
important part ofthebook, and thereader should atleast
attempt them all. Itwas necessary tomake thebibliography
either very incomplete orunwieldy, since half the major
x Preface
branches ofmathematics could legitimately berecommended
asreasonable continuations ofthematerial inthebook. I
have tried tomake itincomplete buttempting.
Many criticisms and suggestions were offered during the
Writing ofthisbook. Iamparticularly grateful toRichard
Palais, Hugo Rossi, Robert Seeley, and Charles Stenard for
their many helpful comments.
Ihave used thisprinting asanopportunity tocorrect many
misprints and minor errors pointed out tomebyindulgent
readers. Inaddition, thematerial following Theorem 3-11
hasbeen completely revised andcorrected. Other important
changes, which could notbeincorporated inthetext without
excessive alteration, arelisted intheAddenda attheendofthe
book.

Aconvenient representation ofafunction f:R2—+Rmay

D,;f(:1:‘, ...,:1:"') bydifferentiating thefunction whose value
atxiisgiven bythe formula when all£137,forj;éi,are
thought ofasconstants. For example, iff(:c,y) =sin(:1:y2),
then D1f(x,y) =y2cos(:1:y2) and D11f(:1:,y) =2:1:ycos(:1:y2). If,
instead, f(:c,y) =:12”,then D1f(:r,y) =y:1:”""1 and D2f(:1:,y) =
:11”log:1:.
With alittle practice (e.g., theproblems attheendofthis
section) you should acquire asgreat afacility forcomputing
D,;fasyou already have forcomputing ordinary derivatives.
IfD,-f(a) exists forall:1:ER”, weobtain afunction D,;f:
R"—>R.Thejthpartial derivative ofthisfunction at:12,that
is,D,-(D1 f)(:13),isoften denoted D1,,-f(:1:). Note that thisnota-
tion reverses theorder ofiand j.Asamatter offact, the
order isusually irrelevant, since most functions (anexception is
given intheproblems) satisfy D1,,-f =D1'.t'f- There arevarious
delicate theorems ensuring thisequality; thefollowing theorem
isquite adequate. Westate ithere butpostpone theproof
until later (Problem 3-28).
2-5 Theorem. IfD,-,,-f and D,-,,-f arecontinuous inan
open setcontaining a,then
Dmf(<1) =D1'.1:f(<1)-
The function D,-_,-f iscalled asecond-order (mixed)
partial derivative off.Higher-order (mixed) partial
derivatives aredefined intheobvious way. Clearly Theorem
2-5can beused toprove theequality ofhigher-order mixed
partial derivatives under appropriate conditions. The order
ofi1,...,i;,iscompletely immaterial inD,-1, ...,,-1,f
iffhascontinuous partial derivatives ofallorders. Afunction
with thisproperty iscalled aC”function. Inlater chapters
itwillfrequently beconvenient torestrict ourattention toC°°
functions.
Partial derivatives will beused inthenext section tofind
derivatives. They alsohave another important use-—finding
maxima andminima offunctions.

2-6 Theorem. Let AER”. Ifthemaximum (ormini-
mum) off: A—>Roccurs atapoint aintheinterior ofAand
D,;f(a) exists, then D,;f(a) =O.
Proof. Let g,;(x) ==f(a1, ...,x,...,a"). Clearly g,;
hasamaximum (orminimum) atat,and g,;isdefined inan
open interval containing ai.Hence 0=g,/(at) =D,-f(a). I
The reader isreminded that theconverse ofTheorem 2-6
isfalse even ifn=1(iff:R——> Risdefined byf(x) =x3,
then f'(0) =0,but 0isnoteven alocal maximum ormini-
mum). Ifn>1,the converse ofTheorem 2-6 may fail
tobetrue inarather spectacular way. Suppose, forexam-
ple,that f:R2—> Risdefined byf(x,y) =x2—y2(Figure
2-2). Then D1f(0,0) =0because g1has aminimum at0,
while D2f(0,0) =0because g2hasamaximum at0.Clearly
(0,0) isneither arelative maximum norarelative minimum.

than Theorem 2-2since gcould bedifferentiable without g,;

Proof. Define F: R”XR"‘—-> R"XRm by F(x,y) =

there isanopen setWER”XRmcontaining F(a,b) ==(a,0)

Thus f(a:,k(:c,0)) =0;inother words wecandefine g(x) =

Theanswer willdepend onthevarious D,-f'l(a:,g(x)), andthere-
foreong(x). This isunavoidable, since thefunction gisnot
unique. Reconsidering thefunction f:R2—-> Rdefined by
f(a:,y) =:02+g2-1,wenote that two possible functions

NOTATION
This section isabrief andnotentirely unprejudiced discussion
ofclassical notation connected with partial derivatives.
Thepartial derivative D1f(:0,y,z) isdenoted, among devotees
ofclassical notation, by
a,, a a alg-lg or-Ior--J-l(r,2/,2) Or"-"f(=v,2/,2)6:0 6:0 6:0 6:0
oranyother convenient similar symbol. This notation forces
onetowrite
£5<u.v.w>
forD1f(u,v,w), although thesymbol
”___'i '““"___ (uavaw)6f(w,z/,2) f or6f(=v,z/,2)
ax l(1=.u.z)=(u.v.w) 35'?
orsomething similar may beused (and must beused foran
expression likeD1f(7,3,2)). Similar notation isused forD2f
and D3f.Higher-order derivatives aredenoted bysymbols
like
621"(aw-">.la6y6:0D2DLf(xay:z)
When f:R—->R,thesymbol 6automatically reverts tod;thus
dsin:0 6sin:0i» not —i-d:0 6:0
The mere statement ofTheorem 2-2inclassical notation
requires theintroduction ofirrelevant letters. The usual
evaluation forD1(f0(g,h)) runs asfollows:
Iff(u,v) isafunction and u=g(:0,y) and v=h(:0,y),
then
ar<g<-->,h<w>> =afrwat+are-»>at6:0 6u 6:0 6v 6:0
[The symbol 6u/6:0 means 6/6:0g(:0,y) and 6/6u f(u,v) means
Difierentiation 45
D1f(u,v) =D1f(g(:0,y), h(:0,y)).] This equation isoften written
simply
ofof6uofat
a=aa+aa
Note thatfmeans something different onthetwosides ofthe
equation!
Thenotation df/d:0, always alittle tootempting, hasinspired
many\__(usually meaningless) definitions ofd:0anddfseparately,
thesolepurpose ofwhich istomake theequation
d=

6 3
df=-—-J:d:0+ldy6:0 6y
(whatever d:0anddymean).
Chapter 4contains rigorous definitions which enable usto
prove theabove equations astheorems. Itisatouchy
question whether ornotthese modern definitions represent a
real improvement over classical formalism; this thereader
must decide forhimself.

Integration
BASIC DEFINITIONS
The definition oftheintegral ofafunction f:A—->R,where
AER”isaclosed rectangle, issosimilar tothat oftheordi-
nary integral that arapid treatment willbegiven.
Recall that apartition Pofaclosed interval [a,b] isa
sequence t0,...,t;,,where a=to5t15~--5ti,=b.
The partition Pdivides theinterval [a,b] into ksubintervals
[t,;_1,t,]. Apartition ofarectangle [a1,b1] X---X[a,,,b,,]
isacollection P=(P1, ...,P,,), where each P,isapar-
tition ofthe interval [a,,b,-]. Suppose, forexample, that
P1 =lg, ...,l],;lSELpartition Of[0,1,l)1] and P2 =80, ...,8;
isapartition of[a2,b2]. Then thepartition P=(P1,P2) of
[a1,b1] X[a2,b2] divides the closed rectangle [a1,b1] X[a2,b2]
intoI0-lsubrectangles, atypical onebeing [t,-__1,t,] X[s,-_1,s,-].
Ingeneral, ifP,;divides [a,,b,;] intoN,subintervals, then P=
(P1, ...,Pn) dlVld6S [(Z1,l)1] X'‘'X[G,n,l),,] llll/O N=

called subrectangles ofthe partition P.

Ms(f) =sup{f(rv)= rvES}.
andletv(S) bethevolume ofS[thevolume ofarectangle

3-I Lemma. Suppose thepartition P’refines P(that is,
each subrectangle ofP’iscontained inasubrectangle ofP).
Then
L(f,P) 5I/(f.P’) and U(f.P’) SU(f,P)-
Proof. Each subrectangle SofPisdivided intoseveral sub-

The sum, forallS,oftheterms ontheleftside isL(f,P),
while thesum ofalltheterms ontheright side isL(f,P’).
Hence L(f,P) 5L(f,P’). The proof forupper sums is
similar. I

there isanopen rectangle Uwith asEUER”—-C. Hence

Abounded setCwhose boundary hasmeasure 0iscalled
Jordan-measurable. The integral fgl iscalled the

ofC.Naturally one-dimensional volume isoften called
length, andtwo-dimensional volume, area.

This willindeed turn outtobetrue when fiscontinuous, but
inthegeneral case difiiculties arise. Suppose, forexample,

f‘,ff(x0,y)dg may not even bedefined. The statement of
Fubini’s theorem therefore looks alittle strange, andwillbe
followed byremarks about various special cases where simpler
statements arepossible.

These integrals arecalled iterated integrals forfinthereverse
order from those ofthetheorem. Asseveral problems show,
thepossibility ofinterchanging theorders ofiterated integrals
hasmany consequences.
2.Inpractice itisoften thecase that each gxisintegrable,
sothat fA><Bf =IA(fBf(:z:,y)dy)d:r. This certainly occurs
iffiscontinuous.
3.Theworst irregularity commonly encountered isthat g,
isnotintegrable forafinite number ofacEA. Inthiscase
£(a:) =fBf(x,y)dy forallbutthese finitely many as.Since
IAJ3 remains unchanged ifJ3isredefined atafinite number of

vided that fBf(:c,y)dy isdefined arbitrarily, sayas0,when it

4.There arecases when thiswillnotwork andTheorem 3-10

(Acollection <I>satisfying (1)to(3)iscalled aC°°partition of

ordinate tothecover 0.Inthis chapter wewillonly use
continuity ofthefunctions 10.)
Proof. Case 1.Aiscompact.
Thenafinite number U1,...,U.,ofopen setsinOcover A.
Itclearly sufiices toconstruct apartition ofunity subordinate
tothecover (U1, ...,U,,}. Wewill first find compact
sets D1CU1;whose interiors cover A. The sets D1;arecon-
structed inductively asfollows. Suppose that D1,...,D1,
have been chosen sothat {interior D1, ...,interior D1,,
U1.+1, ...,U.,} covers A. Let

Then C1.+1 CU1,+1 iscompact. Hence (Problem 1-22) wecan
findacompact setD1,+1 such that

Having constructed thesetsD1,...,D,,, let111,;beanon-

Animportant consequence ofcondition (2)ofthetheorem
should benoted. LetCCAbecompact. Foreach scEC
there isanopen setV,containing scsuch that only finitely
many goE<I>arenot0onVx. Since Ciscompact, finitely
many such V1,cover C. Thus only finitely many <pE<1>are

write

Proof. Webegin with some important reductions.
1.Suppose there isanadmissible cover 0forAsuch that
foreach UE0andanyintegrable fwehave
[1-f<r~t>Idett'l~e(U) U
Then thetheorem istrue forallofA. (Since gisauto-
matically 1-1inanopen setaround each point, itisnotsur-
prising that thisistheonly part oftheproof using thefact
that gis1-1onallofA.)
Proof of(1). The collection ofallg(U) isanopen cover of
g(A). Let<I>beapartition ofunity subordinate tothiscover.
Ifgo=Ooutside ofg(U), then, since gis1-1,wehave (to-f)Og

Hence
9-.5*'-.

Remark. The theorem also follows from theassumption
that
if=f(f°o)lde1> o’l0"‘(V)

applied tog‘“1.
2.Itsuffices toprove thetheorem forthefunction f=1.
Proof of(2). Ifthetheorem holds forf=1,itholds for
constant functions. LetVbearectangle ing(A) andPapar-
tition ofV.Foreach subrectangle SofPletfsbethecon-
stant function 7Tt3(f). Then

Since fvfistheleast upper bound ofallL(f,P), this proves
that fvf3fa-11v, (fOg)ldet g’l. Asimilar argument, letting
1,,==M,(f), shows thatfer3f,-.,V,(fs g)ldetg|.The
result now follows from theabove Remark.

3.Ifthetheorem istrue forg:A—>R"andforh:B—>R”,
where g(A) CB,then itistrue forh<>g:A—>R".
Proof of(3).

4.The theorem istrue ifgisalinear transformation.
Proof of(4). By(1)and(2)itsuffices toshow foranyopen
rectangle Uthat
[1=Jldet g’l.
0(U)
This isProblem 3-35.
Observations (3)and(4)together show that wemay assume
foranyparticular aEAthat g'(a) istheidentity matrix: in
fact, ifTisthelinear transformation Dg(a), then (T"1 Og)’(a)
=I;since thetheorem istrue forT,ifitistrue forT_10git
willbetrue forg.
Wearenow prepared togive theproof, which preceeds by
induction onn.The remarks before thestatement ofthe
theorem, together with (1)and (2),prove thecase n=1.
Assuming thetheorem indimension n-—1,weprove itin
dimension n.Foreach aEAweneed only findanopen set
Uwith aEUCAforwhich thetheorem istrue. Moreover
wemay assume that g'(a) =I.
Define h:A—> R" byh(x) =(g1(:c), ...,g"“1(:c),a:”).
Then h’(a)=I.Hence insome open U’with aEU’CA,

define lc:h(U’)—> R”byh(x) =(x1,...,:v"_1,g"(h_1(:c)))

{h(t)-g(x):yes}lieswithin e\/6(t/N)ofV,sothat

Thus, ifSintersects B,theset{g(y): yES}iscontained in
acylinder whose height is<28\/h(l/N) andwhose base isan

cylinder hasvolume <C(l/N)"e forsome constant C.There

The reader isalready familiar with certain tensors, aside
from members ofV*. Thefirstexample istheinner product
(,)E32(R"). Onthegrounds that anygood mathematical
commodity isworth generalizing, wedefine aninner product
onVtobea2-tensor Tsuch that Tissymmetric, that is
T(v,w) ==T(w,o) forv,wEVand such that Tispositive-
definite, that is,T(v,v) >0ifo750.Wedistinguish (,)as
the usual inner product onR". The following theorem
shows that ourgeneralization isnottoogeneral.
4-2 Theorem. IfTisaninner product onV,there isa
basis v1,...,v,,forVsuch that T(v,-,2),-) =6,-,-. (Such a
basis iscalled orthonormal with respect toT.) Consequently
there isanisomorphism f:R"~—>Vsuch that‘ T(f(:i:),f(y)) =-

Despite itsimportance, theinner product plays afarlesser
role than another familiar, seemingly ubiquitous function,
thetensor detE5"(R”). Inattempting togeneralize this
function, werecall that interchanging tworows ofamatrix
changes thesign ofitsdeterminant. This suggests thefol-
lowing definition. AIt-tensor wE5"(V)iscalled alternating
if
w(o1, ...,o,~,...,1),-,...,v1,)
=--—w(v1, ...,1),-,...,v,;,...,v1,)
forallv1, ...,v1,EV.
(Inthisequation v,-andv,-areinterchanged andallother v’s
areleftfixed.) The setofallalternating h-tensors isclearly
asubspace A'°(V) of5"(V). Since itrequires considerable
work toproduce thedeterminant, itisnotsurprising that
alternating lo-tensors aredifficult towrite down. There is,
however, auniform way ofexpressing allofthem. Recall
that thesign ofapermutation 0',denoted sgn0',is+1ifais
even and -1ifaisodd. IfTE5'°(V), wedefine Alt(T) by

Weshall need toconsider formal sums ofsingular n-cubes in

where c1,02,c3aresingular n-cubes inA.Such afinite sum
ofsingular n-cubes with integer coeflicients iscalled an
n-chain inA. Inparticular asingular n-cube cisalsocon-

depends onAand isgenerally “no.” For example, define

THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS
The fact that d2-=0and62=0,nottomention thetypo-
graphical similarity ofdand 6,suggests some connection
between chains andforms. This connection isestablished by
integrating forms over chains. Henceforth only differentiable
singular n-cubes willbeconsidered.

asthemaximum of|t,--t,-_1l goes to0.The right side is
often taken asadefinition ofLPdx+Qdy. This isanatural
definition tomake, since these sums arevery much likethe
sums appearing inthedefinition ofordinary integrals. How-
ever such anexpression isalmost impossible towork with and
isquickly equated with anintegral equivalent tof[0,1]0*(P da:
+Qdy). Analogous definitions forsurface integrals, that
is,integrals of2-forms over singular 2-cubes, areeven more
complicated and difficult touse. This isonereason why we
have avoided such anapproach. Theother reason isthat the

general situations considered inChapter 5.

Stokes’ theorem shares three important attributes with
many fully evolved major theorems:
1.Itistrivial.
2.Itistrivial because theterms appearing inithave been
properly defined.
3.Ithassignificant consequences.
Since this entire chapter was little more than aseries of
definitions which made thestatement and proof ofStokes’
theorem possible, thereader should bewilling togrant the
first twoofthese attributes toStokes’ theorem. The restof
thebook isdevoted tojustifying thethird.

FIELDS AND FORMS ON MANIFOLDS

coordinate system, with as=g(b), then
9*(Rkb) =f*(f—1 °9)*(Rkb) =f*(Bka)-
Thus thels-dimensional subspace f*(R"°.1) does notdepend on
thecoordinate system f.This subspace isdenoted M1,,and
iscalled thetangent space ofMatas(seeFigure 5-5). In
later sections wewillusethefactthat there isanatural inner

unique (differentiable) vector fieldG onWsuch thatf.1.(G(a))=
F(f(a)) foreach aEW. Wecanalso consider afunction F

such afunction iscalled a’vector field onM. There isstill

Amanifold forwhich orientations n1,can bechosen con-
sistently iscalled orientable, andaparticular choice ofthe

anorientation giscalled anoriented manifold. The classical
example ofanon-orientable manifold istheMobius strip.
Amodel canbemade bygluing together theends ofastrip of
paper which hasbeen given ahalf twist (Figure 5-7).
Ourdefinitions ofvector fields, forms, andorientations can
bemade formanifolds-with-boundary also. IfMisah-dimen-
sional manifold-with-boundary and asE6M, then (6M)1, is
a(ls—1)-dimensional subspace oftheIt-dimensional vector
space M1,. Thus there areexactly two unit vectors inM1,
which areperpendicular to(6M)1; they canbedistinguished
asfollows (Figure 5-8). Iff:W——>R”isacoordinate system

isfs(co)forsome nowith of<O.This unit vector iscalled the
outward unit normal n(a:); itisnothard tocheck that this
definition does notdepend onthecoordinate system f.

sothat [n(a:), o1,...,o;,__1] =111,. Ifitisalso true that

[w1, ...,w;,._1] are the same orientation for(6M)1,. This

determines anorientation 6nfor6M,called the induced
orientation. IfWeapply these definitions toH"with the

THE VOLUME ELEMENT
LetMbeaIt-dimensional manifold (ormanifold-with-bound-
ary) inR",with anorientation u.IfasEM,then 11,,and the
inner product Ta,wedefined previously determine avolume
element w(:U) EA"’(M,,). Wetherefore obtain anowhere-zero
h-form toonM,which iscalled thevolume element onM
(determined byu)and denoted dV,even though itisnotgen-
erally thedifferential ofa(ls-—1)-form. The volume ofM
isdefined as[MdV,provided this integral exists, which is
certainly thecase ifMiscompact. “Volume” isusually
called length orsurface area forone- and two-dimensional
manifolds, andclVisdenoted ds(the “element oflength”) or
dA[ordS](the “element of[surface] area”).

THE CLASSICAL THEOREMS
Wehave nowprepared allthemachinery necessary tostate and
prove theclassical “Stokes’ type” oftheorems. Wewill
indulge inalittle bitofself-explanatory classical notation.
5-7 Theorem (Green’s Theorem). LetMER2beacom-
pact two-dimensional manifold-with-boundary. Suppose that

(Here Misgiven theusual orientation, and6Mtheinduced
orientation, alsoknown asthecounterclockwise orientation.)
Proof. This isavery special case ofTheorem 5-5, since
d(adx+Bdg) =(D16 ~—D2a)d:v /\dy. I
Integration onManifolds 135
*5-8 Theorem (Divergence Theorem). Let MER3bea
compact three-dimensional manifold-with-boundary and nthe
unit outward normal on6M.LetFbeadifferentiable vector field
onM. Then
fljearev =a!Ii(F,n)d/1.
This equation isalsowritten interms ofthree differentiable func-
tions a,B,'y.' M—->R:
aaafff(-5:-+5§—+-ég-)dV= f/i(n1a—[—n2B —[—n3'y)dS.
M y 6M
Proof. Define cconMbyw=Fldy /\dz+F2 dz/\dsc+
F3dx/\dy. Then dw=divF dV. According toTheorem
5-6, on6Mwehave
n1dA =dy Adz,
n2dA =dz /\d:c,
n3dA=dx/\dy.
Therefore on6Mwehave
(F,n)e/1=FlnldA+PWat+ruedA
=Fldy /\dz+F2dz /\d:c+F3d:c /\dy
=OJ.
Thus, byTheorem 5-5wehave
[divFdV= [ea=[a=, [(F,n)dA. |M M aM 6M
5-9 Theorem (Stokes’ Theorem). LetMER3beacom-
pact oriented two-dimensional manifold-with-boundary andnthe
unit outward normal onMdetermined bytheorientation ofM.
Let6Mhavetheinduced orientation. LetTbethevector field on
6Mwith ds(T) =1andletFbeadifierentiable vector field in
anopen setcontaining M. Then
[<(v><F),n)dA =[<r,T>ds.

Proof. Define wonMbycc=F1dx+F2dy+F3dz.
Since VXFhascomponents DZF3 -D3F2, D3F1 —D1F3,
D1F2 --D2F1, itfollows, asintheproof ofTheorem 5-8, that
onMwehave
((VXF),n)dA=(DQF3 -—-D3F2)dy /\dz
+(D3F1 —D1F3)dz /\dx
+(D1F2 -D2F1)da: /\dy
=dw.
Ontheother hand, since ds(T) =1,on6Mwehave
T1ds=dx,
T2ds=dy,
T3ds=dz.
(These equations may bechecked byapplying both sides to
T,,,forasE6M, since T,isabasis for(6M),,,.)
Therefore on6Mwehave
(F,T) ds=FIT1 ds+F2T2 ds+F3T3 ds
=Fldx —[-F2dy+F3dz
= CO.
Thus, byTheorem 5-5, wehave
((VXF),n) dA= do= to= (F,T) ds. I

from M. Consequently thecondition divF=0expresses
Integration onManifolds 137
thefactthat thefluid isincompressible. IfMisadisc, then
I611;(F,T)dsmeasures theamount that thefluid curls around
thecenter ofthedisc. Ifthisiszero foralldiscs, then VXF
=0,and thefluid iscalled irrotational.
These interpretations ofdivFandcurlFareduetoMaxwell
[13]. Maxwell actually worked with thenegative ofdivF,
which heaccordingly called the convergence. For VXF
Maxwell proposed “with great diffidence” theterminology
rotation ofF;thisunfortunate term suggested theabbreviation
rotFwhich oneoccasionally stillsees.
The classical theorems ofthissection areusually stated in
somewhat greater generality than they arehere. Forexam-
ple,Green’s Theorem istrueforasquare, andtheDivergence
Theorem istrue foracube. These twoparticular facts can
beproved byapproximating thesquare orcube bymanifolds-
with-boundary. Athorough generalization ofthetheorems of
this section requires theconcept ofmanifolds-with-corners;
these aresubsets ofR”which are, uptodiffeomorphism,
locally aportion ofR3which isbounded bypieces of(lc-—1)-
planes. The ambitious reader willfinditachallenging exer-
cise todefine manifolds-with-corners rigorously and to
investigate how theresults ofthis entire chapter may be
generalized.

1.Itshould beremarked after Theorem 2-11 (the Inverse
Function Theorem) that theformula forflallows ustocon-
clude thatF1isactually continuously differentiable (and that
itisC”iffis). Indeed, itsuflices tonote that theentries of
theinverse ofamatrix AareC”functions oftheentries
ofA. This follows from “Cramer’s Rule”: (A"1),-,- =
(detA35)/(det A),where Allisthematrix obtained from A
bydeleting rowiandcolumn j.
2.Theproof ofthefirstpart ofTheorem 3-8canbesimpli-
fied considerably, rendering Lemma 3-7unnecessary. It
suffices tocover Bbytheinteriors ofclosed rectangles U,-with

rectangle V1,, containing a:initsinterior, with MV,(f)—
mv,(f) <E.Ifevery subrectangle ofapartition Piscon-
tained inoneofsome finite collection ofU,-’sandV,’s which
cover A,and[f(x)] 5MforallxinA,then U(f, P)—L(f,P)
<ev(A)+2Me.
The proof oftheconverse part contains anerror, since
M,(f)—m,(f)Z1/nisguaranteed only iftheinterior ofS
intersects B1,,,.Tocompensate forthisitsufiices tocover the
boundaries ofallsubrectangles ofPwith a.finite collection of

4.Finally, thenotation A"(V) appearing inthis book is
incorrect, since itconflicts with thestandard definition of
A3(V) (asacertain quotient ofthetensor algebra ofV). For
thevector space inquestion (which isnaturally isomorphic to
A"(V*) forfinite dimensional vector spaces V)thenotation
Q"(V) isprobably ontheway tobecoming standard. This
substitution should bemade onpages 78-85, 88-89, 116, and
126-128.
