Content:

Let $M$ be an oriented $r$-dimensional differentiable manifold with boundary $\partial M$ piecewise differentiable, let the orientation
of $\partial M$ be that induced by the orientation of $M$, and let $\omega$ be an $(r-1)$-form whose components have continuous
first partial derrivatives in any coordinate chart. Then
\[ \int_M \dd \omega = \int_{\partial M} \omega.\]
Examples of familiar corrolaries and formulations to follow.
