Evaluating Double and Triple Integrals

The document discusses multiple integrals, including double integrals and triple integrals. It explains that a double integral can be evaluated by two successive integrations, either first with respect to y and then x, or vice versa. A triple integral is evaluated by first integrating with respect to the innermost variable (z), then the middle variable (y), and finally the outer variable (x). Diagrams are provided to illustrate the regions and methods of integration.

First Method:
f(x,y) if first integrated with respect to y treating x as
constant between the limit y1 and y2 and then the
result is integrated with respect to x between the
limits a and b.

In the region we take an elementary area xy. Then
integration w.r.t. y keeping x constant converts small
rectangle xy into strip PQ (yx). While the
integration of the result w.r.t. x correponds to the

Triple Integration
Let a function f(x, y, z) be a continuous at very point
of a finite region A of three dimensional space.
Consider n sun-space A1, A2, An of the
space A. If (xr, yr, zr) be a point in the rth sunspace,
then, the limit of the sum
as n,
, Ar0 is known as
the triple integral of f(x, y, z) over the space A.
Symbolically, it is denoted by

Evaluation of Triple Integrals:


First we integrate w.r.t. z treating x, y as constant
between the limit z1 and z2 . The resulting expression
(function of x, y) is integrated w.r.t. y keeping x as
constant between the limit y1 and y2. At the end, we
integrate the resulting expression (function of x only)
within the limit x1 and x2.

First we integrate from inner interval w.r.t. z, then we
integrate w.r.t. y and finally the outer most w.r.t. x.
