Defining Double Integration with Riemann Sums | Volume under a Surface

  • We generalize the ideas of integration from single-variable calculus to define double integrals. The big idea in single variable calculus was to chop up the region into a sum of little rectangles called the Riemann sum which was an approximation for the area under a function. Then we took a limit of the Riemann sum to define the definite integral. We do much the same here, looking to find a formula for the volume under a surface. Now a rectangular region in the domain is broken up into a lot of little prisms and the sum of those volumes is the Riemann sum. Take the limit as the sizes in that partition goes to zero and this defines a double integral.

    • @fernandotanase114
      @fernandotanase114 Před rokem

      Pretend that "m" stands for the # of partitions(cuts/squares) along the x-direction, and that "n" also stands for the # of partitions but in the y-direction(in this case m=2,n=2). Also, let's say that the Domain of x is [a,b] & y is [c,d] (in this case x:[-2,2] y:[-2,2]) . You'll find that change in X= (b-a)/m & change in Y=(d-c)/n. In this case change in X =(2-(-2))/2= 2 & change in Y also equals 2.

    how similar and how different are vector functions and vector fields?
    this question is blowing my mind:/
    in both cases the domain is a subset of real numbers and the output is a vector but why do we draw the output vector of a vector valued function from the origin (0,0,0) and the output vector of a vector field from its domain ( a particular point like (x, y, z) )
    I know it might be unrelated to this video but I will be thankful if you answer my question😊💜

  • @commandermakki255
    @commandermakki255 Před 3 měsíci

    0:04 Did you mean the volume under a surface here or the surface area of the shape?
    And if we're finding the volume under the surface, isn't this similar to single variable calculus where we used to rotate the shapes over an axis and find the volume of the solid created, is the only difference that the shapes created in single variable calculus are symmetric while shapes over here are not necessarily symmetric? I just want to make sure I got the idea.

      I had exactly the same question. Am I right then to say that if f(x, y) is a constant function 1, then the double integral will give the area of the region? Also, is this region the projection of the surface f on the xy plane?

    • @waldenfreedman3457
      @waldenfreedman3457 Před 3 lety +1

      @@VK-sp4gv In terms of the numerical value, the double integral of the constant function f(x, y) = 1 gives the area of the "base", but in terms of the units, if all distances are measured in say meters, with the height 1 meter, then it would be numerically the area but its units would be units of volume. For example, if D is the unit disk and f(x, y) = 1 (meter) then the double integral of f over D would be pi cubic meters. And certainly the projection of the surface f(x, y) = 1 onto the xy-plane is the 2-dimensional region D (the base of the solid.)
