Calculus of Multiple Variables - Tutorial with Problems, Solutions, MCQ Quizzes - Part III : Multiple Integrals, Double and Triple Integrals



Here's the outline of what we'll cover in this tutorial



1. Multiple Integrals : Extensions of single integral to two , three or more dimensions is called Multiple integrals.
2. Area of a region : Computing the area of a given region using double Integrals.
3. Volume under a surface : Computing volume of  the region using multiple integrals.




Volume of a region, center of gravity and moment of inertia of a solid.

Making transformations to help us change the variables in double and triple integrals.


1.  Find the volume of the solid under the plane z = 2x + 4y and over
the rectangle [3, 12] × [2, 4].

3 . Find the volume of the tetrahedron bounded by the coordinate planes
and the plane z = 6 − 2x − 3y.
4 . Find the volume of the solid in the first octant bounded by the
paraboloid   z=9-x2-y2   and the xy-plane.
5. Solve the above problem using  cylindrical coordinates
