The integral of an n-form on an n-manifold is defined by piecing together integrals over sets in ℝn using a partition of unity subordinate to an atlas. The change-of-variables theorem guarantees that the integral is well defined, independent of the choice of atlas and partition of unity. Two basic theorems of integral calculus, the change-of-variables theorem and Stokes’ theorem, are discussed in detail along with some applications.
