What did Stokes popularize in mathematics?
Calculus
Algebra
Geometry
Vector calculus
Answer
Vector calculus, a branch of mathematics that deals with vector fields, was popularized by George Stokes. It provides a framework for understanding and analyzing physical phenomena involving vector quantities, such as velocity, force, and acceleration. Stokes' contributions to vector calculus include the Stokes' theorem, which relates the integral of a vector field over a surface to the line integral of the field around the boundary of the surface.
