05 Multiple Integrals

Double Integrals

represented by

\[ I = \iint f(x, y) \ dy \ dx \]

The limits of outer integral will always be constants.

Changing order of integration

  1. Obtain the new limits
  2. Evaluate the integrals

Cartesian Integral \(\iff\) Polar Integral

Let \(f\) be defined in a domain \(R\) in the \(XY\) plane. Then

\[ \begin{aligned} \iint\limits_{R} f(x, y) \ dA & = \iint\limits_{R'} f(r \cos\theta, r \sin\theta) \cdot r \ dr \ d\theta \\ \text{where } x &= r \cos\theta, y = r \sin\theta, dA = dx \ dy \end{aligned} \]

Note: First integrate wrt to \(r\), then \(\theta\)

Triple Integrals

represented by

\[ I = \iiint f(x, y, z) \ dz \ dy \ dx \]
