Choose counterclockwise traversal viewed from , and span the curve by the disk , with upward normal. Here
The surface side is therefore . In polar coordinates it is
For the direct boundary integral, gives on . Set , , so
The two independent evaluations agree. Clockwise traversal and downward normal give on both sides.
