Abstract

We present a short, computational proof of the parametric Gauss-Green theorem for a broad class of closed chains. The proof involves only measure theory and the basic theory of differential forms: in particular, no constructions from topology are used. For completeness, the standard properties of winding numbers are also established by methods from analysis.
