If C is very hard to parametrise, look


for another simple curve C1 such
that the union of C and C1 makes a
closed curve, C2. Then apply the flux

If S is very hard to parametrise, look

Note that if div(F) = 0, the flux is 0.


Moreover, if

the flux across any closed surface is
0 since div(F) = div(curl(G)) = 0. This
means the magnitude of the flux
across an open surface is the same
as the flux across any other surface
with the same boundary curve.
Fundamental theorem again!
