Surface Integral
- it can be thought of as the double integral analog of the line integral
- is the integral of a scalar-valued function over the surface
Surface Integrals of Scalar Fields
Given a scalar-valued function 𝑓 and surface 𝑆. The surface integral of 𝑓 over 𝑆 is defined as:
where:
- 𝐫(𝑠,𝑡) is the parametrization of 𝑆
- (𝑠,𝑡) varies in some region 𝑇 in the plane
- ||·|| is the magnitude of the cross-product of the partial derivatives of 𝐫(𝑠,𝑡)
