SURFACE INTEGRALS
KENN TRISTAN E. NAVARRETE
We now consider
integrating
functions over a
surface S that lies
above some plane
region D.
Let’s suppose the surface S is described
by 𝑧 = 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦)
and we are considering a function
𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) defined on S,
The surface integral is given by:
ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 𝑑𝑆
𝑆
where:
𝑑𝑆 is the change in Surface Area
ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 𝑑𝑆 = ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦) 1 + 𝑔𝑥 2 + 𝑔𝑦 2 𝑑𝐴
𝑆 𝐷
𝑧 = 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑦)
where:
We convert a surface integral into a
standard double integral that we can
compute.
ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 𝑑𝑆 = ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑧), 𝑧 1 + 𝑔𝑥 2 + 𝑔𝑧 2 𝑑𝐴
𝑆 𝐷
𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥, 𝑧)
or
ඵ 𝑓 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 𝑑𝑆 = ඵ 𝑓 𝑔(𝑦, 𝑧), 𝑦, 𝑧 1 + 𝑔𝑦 2 + 𝑔𝑧 2 𝑑𝐴
𝑆 𝐷
𝑥 = 𝑔(𝑦, 𝑧)
EXAMPLE:
Evaluate:
ඵ(𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 𝑧)𝑑𝑆
𝑆
where:
𝑆: 𝑦 + 𝑧 = 4 𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1
SOLUTION:
= ඵ(𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 𝑧) 1 + 𝑔𝑥 2 + 𝑔𝑦 2 𝑑𝐴
𝐷
= ඵ(𝑥 + 𝑦 + (4 − 𝑦)) 1 + 02 + (−1)2 𝑑𝐴
𝐷
=ඵ 𝑥+𝑦+4 2 𝑑𝐴
𝐷
SOLUTION:
= ඵ 𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 + 4 2 𝑑𝑟 𝑑𝜃
𝐷
𝜃=2𝜋 𝑟=1
= න න 𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 + 4 2 𝑑𝑟 𝑑𝜃
𝜃=0 𝑟=0
= 4 2𝜋
Parametric

of Surfaces
in line integrals,
The Parametric Representation of a
curve C is,
𝒓 𝑡 = [𝑥 𝑡 , 𝑦 𝑡 , 𝑧 𝑡 ]
𝒓 𝑡 = 𝑥 𝑡 𝒊, 𝑦 𝑡 𝒋, 𝑧 𝑡 𝒌
where:
𝑎≤𝑡≤𝑏
Thus,
The Parametric Representation of a
surface S is,
𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 = [𝑥 𝑢, 𝑣 , 𝑦 𝑢, 𝑣 , 𝑧 𝑢, 𝑣 ]
𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 = 𝑥 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒊, 𝑦 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒋, 𝑧 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒌
where:
𝑢, 𝑣 varies in some region R of the 𝑢𝑣-plane
“To Parameterize a Surface

a vector function”

𝐷
where:
D is domain of the parameters (𝑢, 𝑣)
𝑟റ𝑢 is the partial derivative of 𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 with respect to 𝑢
𝑟റ𝑣 is the partial derivative of 𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 with respect to 𝑣
EXAMPLE:
Find the Surface Area of
𝟐 𝟐 𝟐
𝒙 +𝒚 =𝒛
𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 = 𝑣 cos 𝑢 𝒊 + 𝑣 sin 𝑢 𝒋 + 𝑣𝒌
finding 𝒓𝒖
𝑟റ𝑢 = −𝑣 sin 𝑢 𝒊 + 𝑣 cos 𝑢 𝒋
finding 𝒓𝒗
𝑟റ𝑣 = cos 𝑢 𝒊 + sin 𝑢 𝒋 + 𝒌
Performing the Cross product
𝒊 𝒋 𝒌
𝑟റ𝑢 × 𝑟റ𝑣 = −𝑣 sin 𝑢 𝑣 cos 𝑢 0
cos 𝑢 sin 𝑢 1
= (𝑣 cos 𝑢) 𝒊 + (𝑣 sin 𝑢) 𝒋 − 𝒗𝒌
Solving for the magnitude
𝑟റ𝑢 × 𝑟റ𝑣 = (𝑣 cos 𝑢) 𝒊 + (𝑣 sin 𝑢) 𝒋 − 𝒗𝒌
= (𝑣 cos 𝑢)2 + 𝑣 sin 𝑢2 + (−𝑣)2
=𝑣 2
Substitute the magnitude of the
cross product to,
ඵ 𝑟റ𝑢 × 𝑟റ𝑣 𝑑𝐴 = ඵ 𝑣 2 𝑑𝐴
𝐷 𝐷
Set the domain for our
parameters (𝑢, 𝑣)
𝑢=2𝜋 𝑣=𝑟
ඵ 𝑣 2 𝑑𝐴 = න න 𝑣 2 𝑑𝑣 𝑑𝑢
𝐷 𝑢=0 𝑣=0
= 𝜋𝑟 2 2
Therefore:
The surface area of the cone
expressed in the equation
𝒙𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 = 𝒛𝟐
is equal to,
𝜋𝑟 2 2
The end!
