Curl, not cross product. I'll be back after I study this some more. Needs work.
'''Stokes' Theorem''' holds that the double integral of the cross product of a vector field with respect to a surface is equal to its line integral with respect to a simple curve enclosing the surface. This is the analog in two dimensions of the [[Divergence Theorem]].

In its most general form, this theorem is the fundamental theorem of [[Exterior Calculus]], and is a generalization of the [[Fundamental Theorem of Calculus]]. It states that if ''M'' is an oriented piecewise smooth [[manifold]] of [[dimension]] k and <math>\omega</math> is a smooth (''k''−1)-[[differential form|form]] with compact support on ''M'', and ∂''M'' denotes the boundary of ''M'' with its induced orientation, then
