Math 08 urface integrals and the differentials for flu integrals Our tet fails to eplicitl state the formulas for n dσ, instead preferring to give formulas for n and separatel But the proof on page 88 of the formula dσ = r r du dv on page dσ u v 80 actuall shows that n dσ = ± ru rv du dv that is, r u r v du dv is a vector of length dσ and direction normal to the surface, and the onl such vectors in 3D are that and its negative! egarding n dσ as the basic formula rather than n and dσ separatel is simpler - when ou need dσ, it can be obtained as simpl n dσ, while n itself is just the unit vector in the direction of n dσ Finding n and dσ separatel and multipling them when doing a flu integral leads to computing r r twice, once in the denominator of n and once in dσ, onl to cancel these ever time! Wh do that? u v If the surface is given parametricall b u, v), then n dσ = ± r r du dv 1) Our book also fails to state the formulas for r u v n dσ when the surface is written as one variable is a function of the other two These are the most common cases used, and knowing n dσ for those cases saves several steps uppose z = f, ) with f differentiable Using and as our parameters leads to r = <,, f, ), so r r = < 0,1, f < 1,0, f = < f, f, 1, giving: Formulas for z = f, ) n dσ = ± f i + f j k) d d If the surface is part of, then ) n dσ alwas have a choice of sign which depends on the orientation of the surface involved Eg in ), + gives downward orientation,! gives upward since up/down is determined b the k coefficient) Also, be aware that the integral can, of course, be done using as indicated,, or even d d d d r dr dθ Eample 1: Find the flu of F,, z) =< 3,3, z oriented paraboloid which satisfies z + z = 0 over that portion of the upward olution: The surface equation gives us, so ince we want upward oriented, leads to: z = + f, ) = + n dσ = f i + f j k) d d = <,,1 d d,which
