Problem 1
Use the precise definitions, state all hypotheses, apply F'=f, and verify the conclusion against a boundary case or independent theorem.

Primitives and Path Independence
Accept equivalent mathematically correct reasoning. Require explicit definitions, theorem hypotheses, proof structure, verification, and limitations.
Problem 2
Identify the first invalid inference, missing hypothesis, quantifier error, unjustified limit interchange, or unproved existence claim; then supply a valid repair.
Problem 3
A complete response explicitly states the definitions, domain, hypotheses, exact target, and theorem dependencies for Primitives and Path Independence.
Problem 4
The argument must address connecting antiderivatives with zero integrals on closed curves with each nontrivial step justified and the final conclusion restated.
Problem 5
A strong application explains the mathematical model in evaluation of integrals, potential theory, analytic continuation, and spectral methods, verifies conditions, and names at least one limitation.
Problem 6
Accept a second valid proof, a counterexample showing necessity of a hypothesis, an independent estimate, or a reproducible finite check that is correctly described as supporting evidence.
