It's possible for the boundary of a surface to have multiple separate parts. It turns out that, in general, if a surface has a boundary, then that boundary is made up of closed curves! This is why I use the closed line integral notation during the derivation.

For the example of a cylinder, the boundary is the two circles at the top and bottom of the cylinder. Each circle is a closed curve, so we can use the curl theorem with those circles as the boundary!

Explanation of Stokes' theorem, also known as the curl theorem or the Kelvin-Stokes theorem. We go through an intuitive explanation to understand the curl theorem using the definition of curl as a limit of closed line integrals.
