Understanding Line Integrals and Green's Theorem

The video tutorial explains the application of Green's Theorem to convert a line integral around a boundary into a double integral over a region. It demonstrates the use of partial derivatives and the multi-variable chain rule in calculations. The tutorial simplifies expressions and compares line and surface integrals to prove Stokes' theorem for a special case, showing that the line integral is equal to the surface integral.
