Observe that a line through the origin always intercepts a sphere $\bS^n$ at two antipodal points and, conversely, each pair of antipodal point determines a unique line through the center. diff --git a/7-integration.tex b/7-integration.tex index 4145334..f28fd29 100644 --- a/7-integration.tex +++ b/7-integration.tex @@ -621,6 +621,16 @@ \section{Stokes' Theorem} concluding the proof. \end{proof} +\begin{exercise} + Let $D^n := \{x=(x^1, \ldots, x^n)\in\R^n \mid \|x\| \leq 1\}$ denote the unit disk in $\R^n$ centred at $0$.
