surface integral
In rectangular Cartesian coordinates, the integral where f(x, y, z) is a single-valued continuous function of x, y and z in a region in which S is a surface given by z = φ(x, y), and R is the projection of S on the xy-plane.
Similar surface integrals exist over surfaces x = φ(y, z) and y = φ(z, x). In vector notation the surface integral of a single-valued continuous vector F over the surface s can be written where n is an outward directed unit vector normal to the surface. The surface integral for a closed surface may be related to a volume integral by the divergence theorem.
