The divergence theorem is an important result for the mathematics of physics and engineering, in particular in electrostatics and fluid dynamics. In addition to all our standard integration techniques, such as fubinis theorem and the jacobian formula for changing variables, we now add the fundamental theorem of calculus to the scene. If there is net flow into the closed surface, the integral is negative. This depends on finding a vector field whose divergence is equal to the given function.
