      The following fundamental theorem of geometric calculus in the sense of Hestenes is proved. Theorem. Let \(M\) be a \(C^1\) \(n\)-chain in \(\mathbb{R}^m\). Suppose that the multivector field \(F\) is continuous on \(M\) and that the tangential derivative \(\nabla_VF\) exists and is Lebesgue integrable on \(M-\partial M\). Then \(\int_M dV\nabla_V F= \int_{\partial M}dAF\). The proof is based upon Mawhin's RP-integral, which is the first nonabsolute integral of Kurzweil-Henstock type which integrates all differentiable vector fields.
