Stokes' Theorem: In your own words, how is this theorem used and what does it mean?

Stokes' Theorem helps us establish a connection between a line integral, which measures something along a curve, and a surface integral, which measures something over a surface. It tells us that the line integral around a loop is equal to the surface integral of the curl of the field across the surface bounded by the loop. This helps us understand how the 'spin' of a field across a surface relates to the integral of the field around the edge of the surface.

What are the Cauchy-Riemann equations?

The equations are: \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial y} and \frac{\partial u}{\partial y} = -\frac{\partial v}{\partial x}. These equations relate the partial derivatives of the real part (u) and imaginary part (v) of a complex function.

What is the relationship between the Cauchy-Riemann equations and analytic functions?

The Cauchy-Riemann equations provide necessary conditions for a complex function to be analytic. However, satisfying these equations alone does not guarantee that a function is analytic; it only means that it's a potential candidate for analyticity.
