Divergence theorem

In vector calculus, the divergence theorem, also known as Gauss' theorem, Ostrogradsky's theorem, or Ostrogradsky-Gauss theorem is a result that links the divergence of a vector field to the value of surface integrals of the flow defined by the field. The divergence theorem is an important result for the mathematics of physics, in particular in electrostatics and fluid dynamics.
