general Stokes theorem (Theorem)

Let $ M$ be an oriented $ r$-dimensional differentiable manifold with a piecewise differentiable boundary $ \partial M$. Further, let $ \partial M$ have the orientation induced by $ M$. If $ \omega$ is an $ (r-1)$-form on $ M$ with compact support, whose components have continuous first partial derivatives in any coordinate chart, then

$\displaystyle \int_M \mathrm{d}\omega = \int_{\partial M} \omega.$
