• Surface integrals. The integral of f(x,y,z) over a surface σ in R is
∫∫ f(x,y,z)dS = ∫∫ f(x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v))·||r ×r ||dudv,
u v
σ
where r(u,v) = ⟨x(u,v),y(u,v),z(u,v)⟩ is the parametric equation of the surface.
√ 2 2
• When the surface is the graph of z = f(x,y), one has dS = 1+fx +fy dxdy.

Example 1 (Cylinder). The parametric equation of the cylinder x +y = 1 is
r = ⟨x,y,z⟩ = ⟨cosθ,sinθ,z⟩
and it is obtained using cylindrical coordinates. In this case, we have
r ×r =⟨−sinθ,cosθ,0⟩×⟨0,0,1⟩=⟨cosθ,sinθ,0⟩,

and one can use these facts to compute any surface integral over the cylinder.

Example 2 (Cone). The parametric equation of the cone z = x +y is
x2 +y2 = z2 =⇒ r=⟨x,y,z⟩=⟨zcosθ,zsinθ,z⟩.
To compute a surface integral over the cone, one needs to compute
r ×r =⟨−zsinθ,zcosθ,0⟩×⟨cosθ,sinθ,1⟩ = ⟨zcosθ,zsinθ,−z⟩,

Example 3 (Sphere). The parametric equation of the sphere x +y +z = 1 is
r = ⟨x,y,z⟩ = ⟨cosθsinϕ,sinθsinϕ,cosϕ⟩
and it is obtained using spherical coordinates. In this case, we have
r ×r =⟨−sinθsinϕ,cosθsinϕ,0⟩×⟨cosθcosϕ,sinθcosϕ,−sinϕ⟩

and the fact that ||r|| = 1 implies that ||r × r || = sinϕ.

Example 4 (A general example). The graph of z = f(x,y) can be described by
r = ⟨x,y,z⟩ = ⟨x,y,f(x,y)⟩.
To compute a surface integral over this graph, one needs to compute
r ×r =⟨1,0,f ⟩×⟨0,1,f ⟩ = ⟨−f ,−f ,1⟩,

Example 5. We compute the integral ∫∫σz2dS in the case that σ is the part of the
√ 2 2
cone z = x +y that lies between z = 0 and z = 1. As in Example 2, we have

r = ⟨zcosθ,zsinθ,z⟩, ||r ×r || = z 2.

This implies dS = z√2dzdθ, so the given integral becomes

Example 6. Consider the lamina that occupies the part of the paraboloid z = x2+y2
that lies below the plane z = 1. If its density is given by δ(x,y,z), then its mass is
Mass = ∫∫ δ(x,y,z)dS.

Assume that δ is constant for simplicity. Since z = f(x,y) = x + y , we have

||r ×r || = 1+f +f = 1+4x +4y
