Why the weird $partialQ$ notational for the integral region for Green's Theorm?



$$int_partialQ W cdot ds = iint_Q fracpartialgpartialx - fracpartialfpartialy dx dy$$



Why not just plain "Q" instead:



$$int_Q W cdot ds = iint_Q fracpartialgpartialx - fracpartialfpartialy dx dy$$



If I define Q to be a rectangle region, then what's the difference?



Book says: " The sides Right, Left, Top, and Bottom of Q, with the orientations as indicated... when taken together are referred to as a "boundary". The usual notation for this is a $partialQ$".



I still say, who the heck cares... just call it Q. what hair am i splitting if I remove th the $partial$ character from my notes?

          Because the double integral is over some region $Q$ (e.g. a disc), while the line integral is over the boundary of $Q$ (e.g. the circle bounding that disc): they're not the same.



          You can give it another name if you like, such as "$C$, the boundary of $Q$", but I wouldn't call it $Q$ again since $Q$ is already used for the entire region!



          For this boundary of $Q$, the notation $partial Q$ is common.




          Referring to my example above, you could have the unit disc $Q$:
          $$Q=leftleft(x,yright)inmathbbR^2 ;vert; x^2+y^2 le 1right$$
          and its boundary, the unit circle $partial Q$ (possibly with a chosen orientation):
          $$partial Q=leftleft(x,yright)inmathbbR^2 ;vert; x^2+y^2 = 1right$$
