    Notes:

    Double integrals of a multi-variable function give the volume under the function f(x,y)f(x,y).

    Double Integrals Over a Rectangular Region

    If f(x,y)f(x,y) is continuous on a rectangular region R=[a,b]×[c,d]R=[a,b] \times [c,d], then

    ∫∫Rf(x,y)dA \int \int _R f(x,y) dA

    gives the volume under the function within that region. The integral is also represented as:

    ∫∫Rf(x,y)dA=∫ab∫cdf(x,y)dydx \int \int_R f(x,y) dA = \int_a^b \int_c^d f(x,y)dydx
    =∫cd∫abf(x,y)dxdy = \int _c^d \int_a^b f(x,y)dxdy

    These integrals are known as iterated integrals.



    Double Integrals of Products

    If f(x,y)=g(x)h(y)f(x,y)=g(x)h(y) is continuous on a rectangular region R=[a,b]×[c,d]R=[a,b] \times [c,d], then

    ∫∫Rf(x,y)dA=∫∫Rg(x)h(y)dA \int \int_R f(x,y)dA = \int \int_R g(x)h(y)dA

    which can be rewritten as:

    ∫ab∫cdg(x)h(y)dydx=(∫abg(x)dx)(∫cdh(y)dy) \int^b_a \int^d_c g(x)h(y)dydx = (\int^b_a g(x)dx ) ( \int^d_c h(y)dy)
