- Abstract
- The paper presents two proofs of Stokes' theorem that are intuitively simple and clear. A manifold, on which a differential form is defined, is reduced to a three-dimensional cube, as extending to other dimensions is straightforward. The first proof reduces the integral over a manifold to the integral over a boundary, while the second proof extends the integral over a boundary to the integral over a manifold. A new idea consists in the definition of Sacała's line that inspired the authors to taking a different look at the proof of Stokes' theorem.(original abstract)
