Double and triple integrals

Volume under a surface by iterated integration; changing the order and the coordinates.

∫∫ f dA sums f over a region by integrating one variable at a time (Fubini). Polar coordinates turn circles into rectangles and give the famous ∫e^{−x²} = √π. Picture it: the volume under the surface z = f(x, y) over the region. Think it: the Jacobian is the local scaling factor (the determinant of the derivative), which is why r appears in polar integrals.

Integrate x^2 from 0 to 1

\int_{0}^{1} x^{2}\, dx

Trin for trin

  1. \int_{0}^{1} x^{2}\, dx

    First find an antiderivative F, then evaluate F(b) − F(a).

  2. \int x^{2}\, dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3}

    Power rule: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) (n ≠ −1).

  3. F(1) - F(0) = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right) - \left(0\right)

    Fundamental theorem of calculus: plug in the limits.

  4. = \frac{1}{3}

    Simplify.

Spørgsmål folk spørger

What is a partial derivative?

The ordinary derivative with respect to one variable while every other variable is frozen: the slope of the surface in one coordinate direction.

What does the gradient point at?

Uphill: the direction of steepest increase, with length equal to that steepest slope. It is perpendicular to the level curves.
