15.1 Double Integral
Recall
Double Integral
Now let’s define the double integral using Riemann Sum
Step 1 (subdivisions):
- Subdivide
into subintervals of the same length - Subdivide
into subintervals of the same length
This creates angrid of subrectangles in .
Step 2:
Choose a sample point
Step 3:
Volume under the graph over
Define the Riemann Sum
This approximates the volume under the graph of
Double Integral of
The double integral of
over a rectangle is defined by
If the limit exists, we sayis integrable over
Fact
If
is continuous on , then is integrable on .
Example.
Riemann sum
Theorem
Assume that
and are continuous over a rectangle . Then
- For any constant
