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.


Stokes' Theorem	E-Book Chapter Section

Divergence Theorem

In this section we are going to relate surface integrals to triple integrals. We will do this with the Divergence Theorem.

Divergence Theorem

Let E be a simple solid region and S is the boundary surface of E with positive orientation. Let be a vector field whose components have continuous first order partial derivatives. Then,

Let’s see an example of how to use this theorem.

Example 1 Use the divergence theorem to evaluate where and the surface consists of the three surfaces, , on the top, , on the sides and on the bottom.

Solution

Let’s start this off with a sketch of the surface.

Divergence_Ex1_G1

The region E for the triple integral is then the region enclosed by these surfaces. Note that cylindrical coordinates would be a perfect coordinate system for this region. If we do that here are the limits for the ranges.

We’ll also need the divergence of the vector field so let’s get that.

The integral is then,
