You can navigate through this E-Book using the menu to the left. For E-Books that have a Chapter/Section organization each option in the menu to the left indicates a chapter and will open a menu showing the sections in that chapter. Alternatively, you can navigate to the next/previous section or chapter by clicking the links in the boxes at the very top and bottom of the material.

Also, depending upon the E-Book, it will be possible to download the complete E-Book, the chapter containing the current section and/or the current section. You can do this be clicking on the E-Book, Chapter, and/or the Section link provided below.

For those pages with mathematics on them you can, in most cases, enlarge the mathematics portion by clicking on the equation. Click the enlarged version to hide it.

 Area and Volume Revisited

This section is here only so we can summarize the geometric interpretations of the double and triple integrals that we saw in this chapter.  Since the purpose of this section is to summarize these formulas we aren’t going to be doing any examples in this section. 

 

We’ll first look at the area of a region.  The area of the region D is given by,

 

 

 

Now let’s give the two volume formulas.  First the volume of the region E is given by,

 

 

 

Finally, if the region E can be defined as the region under the function  and above the region D in xy-plane then,

 

 

 

Note as well that there are similar formulas for the other planes.  For instance, the volume of the region behind the function  and in front of the region D in the xz-plane is given by,

 

 

 

Likewise, the the volume of the region behind the function  and in front of the region D in the yz-plane is given by,
