Lecture Notes (Chapter 2.3 Triple Integral)

Triple integrals are used to evaluate functions of three variables over a three-dimensional solid region. The notation for a triple integral is the integral of the function with respect to x, y, and z over the solid region. There are six orders for the integrals that represent the different coordinate planes used to divide the region. The triple integral can be used to find the volume of a solid by integrating 1 over the region. Examples calculate specific triple integrals by identifying the bounds of integration and order of integration needed to evaluate the volume or integral.

Chapter 2: Multiple Integrals

Triple Integrals

In double integral, a continuous function f of two variables is defined over a plane


region R, where the notation for double integral is expressed as:

f ( x, y)dA
R

z f ( x, y)

y g2 ( x )

y g1 ( x )

In triple integral, a continuous function f of three variables is defined over a solid


region G, where the notation is expressed as:

f ( x, y, z)dV
G

The volume of solid, G, by using triple integral can be obtained by:

Volume,V dV
G

In triple integral, there are 6 combinations for the order of integration for dV, namely,
dxdydz, dxdzdy, dydxdz, dydzdx, dzdxdy, and dzdydx .
