Multivariable/Multi-Variable/Multivariate Calculus/Analysis
- sometimes synonymous with vector calculus
- is the extension of calculus from univariate functions to multivariate functions
- is an extension of vector algebra (that incorporates differentiation and integration)
- is the differentiation and integration of functions involving several variables, rather than just one
- is concerned with the differentiation and integration of vector fields
- see Tensor Calculus for the extension to tensor fields
- a branch of mathematics that deals with quantities that have both magnitude and direction
- some physical and geometric quantities, called scalars, can be fully defined by specifying their magnitude in suitable units of measure

Multi-Variate Calculus - The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Green’s Theorem, Divergence Theorem, Stoke’s Theorem
- Third Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Part I, II, and III)
- Green’s Theorem
- 2D Divergence Theorem & 3D Divergence Theorem
- Stokes’ Theorem
They are the same theorem. Once you have the notion of differential forms, define the operator 𝑑 which takes a form into a form of higher degree, and create the notion of integration of a form on an oriented manifold, you obtain Stokes’ theorem which says:
If 𝜔 is a 0-form, this is the fundamental theorem of calculus
If 𝜔 is a 1-form, this is Green’s theorem
Green’s theorem on the plane can be expressed in two forms, the flux-divergence form and the circulation-curl form.
The divergence theorem is the extension of the flux-divergence form to a closed, orientable 3D surface, and Stoke’s theorem is the extension of the circulation-curl form.
