What is Multiple integrals: Definition and 68 Discussions

In mathematics (specifically multivariable calculus), a multiple integral is a definite integral of a function of several real variables, for instance, f(x, y) or f(x, y, z). Integrals of a function of two variables over a region in





R


2




{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2}}
(the real-number plane) are called double integrals, and integrals of a function of three variables over a region in





R


3




{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}}
(real-number 3D space) are called triple integrals. For multiple integrals of a single-variable function, see the Cauchy formula for repeated integration.

    Improper Multiple Integrals (2)

    I find this to be a very tough problem: 1) Determine whether the improper integral I ∞ ∞ ∫ ∫ [sin (x2 + y2) / ln(x2 + y2)] dxdy 2 2 converges or diverges. All I can think of and try is by changing it to polar coordinates: I=A+B where A= pi/4--- ∞ ∫ ----- ∫ [sin (r^2) /...

    Multiple integrals - volume of part of a unit sphere

    Find the volume of that portion of a unit sphere for which 0<theta<alpha, where theta is one of the spherical coordinates So i know the equation is z^2 = x^2 + y^2 , but what is the meaning of 0<theta<alpha? where do i start? I know i must convert to polar coordinates. z^2 = r^2

    Quick question about multiple integrals

    i was looking through a book and came across a double integral that was split into the product of two single integrals. it was int (x^n)(y^n ) dxdy split into (int x^n dx)(int y^n dy) i just finished a course in multivariable calculus(it was by no means thorough), and i didn't know that...

    Surface Area Multiple Integrals problem

    Hi, I need some help on these problems. I'm not sure what to do. 1 Find the area of the plane with vector equation r(u, v) =< 1+v, u-2v, 3-5u+v> that is given by 0<u<1, 0<v<1. So far, I took the partial derivatives with respect to u and v. I don't know if I was supposed to or not and I'm...

    LaTeX (Slightly OT) Multiple integrals in LaTeX

    How do you make the limits in a triple integral look okay? I need to write something like: \iiint_{x \geq 3, y \geq 4, z \geq 5, 2z - x \geq 5} f(x, y, z)\, dx\,dy\,dz but it looks kind of silly right now.
