About this video

In this video, I describe how all of the different theorems of multivariable calculus (the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals, Green's Theorem, Stokes' Theorem, and the Divergence Theorem, plus also the original Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in one dimension) are actually the same thing in higher math. I present this by going through each theorem conceptually step by step (no formal proofs) and then summarize a recurring idea that we observe in each theorem. Turns out, the idea I present is exactly the basis of the Generalized Stokes' Theorem, sometimes called the "Fundamental Theorem of Multivariable Calculus". Hope you enjoy! Please note a minor error in the video: At 9:22, inside the dot product of F with r'(t)dt, r'(t) should've been with a vector arrow on top of it to signify that it is a vector (we can't take the dot product of a scalar function and a vector field, we can only take the dot product of a vector field and another vector).
