MAT 3100 – Multivariable Calculus Rationale Multivariable functions arise in many real world situations, where physical quantities often depend on two or more variables. This course takes calculus from the two dimensional world of single variable functions into the three dimensional world of multivariable functions which are required to understand and manipulate planes and surfaces, curves in two or three dimensions and scalar-valued and vector-valued functions of several variables.

where g 1 and g 2 are continuous functions on [ a; b ] : To evaluate ∫∫ D f ( x; y ) dA; when D is a region of type I , we choose a rect- angle R = [ a; b ] × [ c; d ] that contains D so that ∫ ∫ D^ f ( x; y )^ dA^ =
R^ F ( x; y )^ dA^ =
∫ (^) b a
∫ (^) d c^ F ( x; y )^ dy dx: Therefore, If f is continuous on a type I region D such that

D is a type I region, and is defined by
D = { ( x; y ) : − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 ; 2 x^2 ≤ y ≤ 1 + x^2 }:

D = { ( x; y ) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 ; x^2 ≤ y ≤ 2 x}:

Suppose now that z = f ( r; θ ) is a function of r and θ; where r and θ denote the polar coordinates of a point in the plane. Let Ω denote a polar rectangle given by r 1 ≤ r ≤ r 2 ; θ 1 ≤ θ ≤ θ 2 : Then the volume of the solid between the surface z = f ( r; θ ) and the region Ω is given by

4.1.7 Changing the order of integration
It is sometimes necessary to change the order of integration because certain integrals may be very difficult to perform when integrating with respect to one variable yet easy to compute when the order of integration is changed.
We begin by looking at the following example.
Example 4.1.8. Find the volume of the solid region bounded by the surface f ( x; y ) = e−x^2 and the planes y = 0 ; y = x and x = 1 : Solution V = ∫ ∫^ e−x^2 dA: We see that as y varies from 0 to 1 ; x is bounded below by the line y = x and above by the line x = 1 ; so that the region over which the integral is to be performed is
R = { ( x; y ) : y ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 1 }:
The integral of f over R then becomes:
V =
0
y^ e
−x^2 dx dy:
In order to compute this integral, we need to know the anti-derivative of ∫ (^) e−x (^2) dx which is not an elementary function. We can, however, avoid this
difficulty by reversing the order of integration. To reverse the order of inte- gration, we observe that as x varies from 0 to 1 ; the y variable is now bounded above by the line y = x and below by the line y = 0 : The integral can then easily be evaluated as follows:
V =
0
∫ (^) x 0^ e
−x^2 dy dx =^ ∫^1 0^ xe
−x^2 dx = −^1 2
( 1 − e e
Example 4.1.9. Change the order of integration and hence evaluate the inte- gral (^) ∫ 2 0
∫ √ 4 −y 2 0 (4^ −^ x
(^2) )^32 dx dy:
Solution Since 0 ≤ x ≤ √ 4 − y^2 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 ; we observe from the first inequality that x^2 ≤ 4 − y^2 ; so that x^2 + y^2 ≤ 4 : This is a circular disc of
That is, the integral over the region R in the xy− plane can be evaluated as an integral over R?^ in the uv− plane by the transformation of integral given above.
Example 4.2.1. Let a transformation of the uv− plane to the xy− plane be given by x = u and y = v (1 + u^2 ) and let Ruv ; be the rectangular region given by 0 ≤ u ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ v ≤ 2 : If Rxy is the image of Ruv ; in the xy− plane, transform the integral (^) ∫ ∫
Rxy^ x dx dy to an integral over Ruv and compute it. Solution We have
J = (^) ∂∂ (( x; yu; v )) =
2 uv 1 + u^2
= 1 + u^2 :
Thus, ∫ ∫ Rxy^ x dx dy^ =
0
0^ u (1 +^ u
(^2) dv du = 2^ ∫^3 0 ( u^ +^ u
(^3) ) du =
u^2 + u 4 2
Example 4.2.2. Evaluate the integral ∫ ∫ R^ ( x
(^2) + y (^2) ) dx dy;
where R = { ( x; y ) : 0 ≤ x + y ≤ 2 ; 0 ≤ x − y ≤ 2 }: Solution Home Work. Hint: Use the transformation u = x + y; v = x − y:
4.3 Triple Integration in Cylindrical Coordinate systems
Suppose that f is continuous and
{ ( x; y; z ) : ( x; y ) ∈ D; u 1 ( x; y ) ≤ z ≤ u 2 ( x; y ) };
where D is given in polar form as
{ ( r; θ ) : α ≤ θ ≤ β; h 1 ( θ ) ≤ r ≤ h 2 ( θ ) }:
Then ∫ ∫ ∫ E^ f ( x; y; z )^ dV^ =
∫ (^) β α
∫ (^) h 2 ( θ ) h 1 ( θ )
∫ (^) u 2 ( r cos θ;r sin θ ) u 1 ( r cos θ;r sin θ )^ f ( r^ sin^ θ; r^ cos^ θ; z ) r dz dr dθ: The formula above says that we convert a triple integral from rectangular to cylindrical coordinates by writing x = r cos θ; y = r sin θ; leaving z as it is, using the appropriate limits of integration for z; r and θ; and replacing dV by r dz dr dθ: Note that: It is worthwhile to use this formula when E is a solid region easily described in cylindrical coordinates, and especially when the function f ( x; y; z ) involves the expression x^2 + y^2 :
Example 4.3.1. Evaluate ∫ (^2) − 2
∫ √ 4 −x 2 −√ 4 −x^2
√x (^2) + y 2 ( x^2 +^ y^2 ) dz dy dx:
Solution The integral is defined over the region
E = { ( x; y; z ) : − 2 ≤ x ≤ 2 ; −√ 4 − x^2 ≤ y ≤ √ 4 − x^2 ; √ x^2 + y^2 ≤ z ≤ 2 }:
we first compute partial derivatives from which to build up the Jacobian. It follows that
∂x ∂ρ = sin^ φ^ cos^ θ^
∂y ∂ρ = sin^ θ^ sin^ φ^
∂z ∂ρ = cos^ φ ∂x ∂θ =^ −ρ^ sin^ θ^ sin^ φ^
∂y ∂θ =^ ρ^ cos^ θ^ sin^ φ^
∂z ∂θ = 0 ∂x ∂φ =^ ρ^ cos^ φ^ cos^ θ^
∂y ∂φ =^ ρ^ sin^ θ^ cos^ φ^
∂z ∂φ =^ −ρ^ sin^ φ
Consequently,
J = ∂ ∂ (( x; y; zρ; φ; θ ) )= ρ^2 sin φ:
Therefore,
I =
f ( x; y; z ) dx dy dz =
f ( ρ; θ; φ ) ρ^2 sin φ dρ dθ dφ:
