Surface Integrals
• We will define the surface integral of f over S in such a way that, in the case where
f (x, y, z) = 1, the value of the surface integral is equal to the surface area of S.
• We start with parametric surfaces and then deal with the special case where S is the
graph of a function of two variables.
Parametric surfaces
• Then we take the limit as the number of patches increases and define the surface integral of f over the surface S
as
• Notice the analogy with the definition of a line integral and also the analogy with the definition of a double integral.
Parametric Surfaces
• To evaluate the surface integral in Equation 1 we approximate the patch area Sij by the area of an
approximating parallelogram in the tangent plane.
• In our discussion of surface area we made the approximation
Sij | ru rv | u v
where
Volume of fluid flowing through an element of surface area per unit time
is
The total volume of fluid passing through the surface per unit time is
called the flux of through
