===Fundamental theorem of calculus in multiple dimensions=== In single-variable calculus, the [[fundamental theorem of calculus]] establishes a link between the derivative and the integral. The link between the derivative and the integral in multivariable calculus is embodied by the integral theorems of vector calculus:<ref name="CourantJohn1999"/>{{rp|543ff}} * [[Gradient theorem]] * [[Stokes' theorem#Special cases|Stokes' theorem]] * [[Divergence theorem]] * [[Green's theorem]]. In a more advanced study of multivariable calculus, it is seen that these four theorems are specific incarnations of a more general theorem, the generalized [[Generalized Stokes theorem|Stokes' theorem]], which applies to the integration of [[differential forms]] over [[Differentiable manifold|manifolds]].<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/SpivakM.CalculusOnManifolds_201703|title=Calculus on Manifolds|last=Spivak|first=Michael|publisher=W.
