==Mathematical statement== [[File:Divergence theorem.svg|thumb|right|250px|A region {{mvar|V}} bounded by the surface {{mvar|S}} = β{{mvar|V}} with the surface normal {{mvar|n}}]] Suppose {{mvar|V}} is a [[subset]] of <math>\mathbb{R}^n</math> (in the case of {{math|''n'' {{=}} 3, ''V''}} represents a volume in [[three-dimensional space]]) which is [[compact space|compact]] and has a [[piecewise]] [[smooth surface|smooth boundary]] {{mvar|S}} (also indicated with <math>\partial V = S</math>). If {{math|'''F'''}} is a continuously differentiable vector field defined on a [[Neighbourhood (mathematics)|neighborhood]] of {{mvar|V}}, then:<ref name="Wiley">{{cite book | last1 = Wiley | first1 = C.
