This my friends is Stokes' Theroem. And quite frankly its great. That is, if you understand it. You see no matter how much i think about, how much it means to me, there isn't really much point in me posting it. Why? Because there will be two types of readers. Firstly there are the ones who know what it means. Mathematicians and physicists will look at it and with a knowing smile understand it completely. But they already knew it, it is useless reading something that you already know-what's the point. There would be no point in me standing up in front of a maths class and explaining Stokes' Theorem to them, or even recommending they read this blog-It's old news, barely worth the read.
The second kind of readers are those who have no idea what I am on about. But if that is the case then this will not help them either. You can't understand it just from this formula. It would require someone to come and find me afterwards and ask me to explain it. If anything it would just cause confusion. So what is my point?
The only remaining justification for me posting this riddle of an equation is self-expression. However I might as well just go and write it on a piece of paper rather than writing it up here and causing confusion.

Hmmmm...it would appear that stokes theorem includes all of which I am reccommended to know for one of my modules next year...but I really havn't got teh foggiest!! Do we need to make an appointment to have it explained?? :-P
Good blog, very good...I don't have the foggiest about Stokes' theorem, but you know what... I am quite happy not to! It's simpler that way! Hope you're feeling better... x
Isn't it worth putting up so that people know it exists?
And also it's worth putting up becuase it's something that matters to you and as long as you don't expect people to get excited about it just because you do, though I'm not saying they wont, it's good to express yourself!
huhu..try to explain it.. i'm eager to know...
