Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Although Green’s theorem, currently considered one of the cornerstones of multivariate calculus, was published in 1828, its widespread introduction into calculus textbooks can be traced back to the first decades of the twentieth century, when vector calculus emerged as a slightly autonomous discipline. In addition, its contemporary version (and its demonstration), currently found in several calculus textbooks, is the result of some adaptations during its almost 200 years of life. Comparing some books and articles from this long period, I would like to discuss in this lecture the didactic adaptations, the editorial strategies and visual representations that shaped the theorem in its current form.
