This document provides examples and explanations for evaluating double and triple integrals using Cartesian and polar coordinates. It begins by introducing double and triple integrals and their notation. It then discusses the evaluation of double and triple integrals, including the process of integrating inner integrals first and noting that integral limits should proceed from variable to constant. Several examples are worked through to demonstrate evaluating double and triple integrals over different regions of integration. The document also covers changing the order of integration and evaluating area integrals using double integrals in both Cartesian and polar coordinate systems.
2. INTRODUTION
When a function ( ) is integrated with respect to x between
the limits a and b, we get the double integral .
If the integrand is a function , and if it is integrated
with respect to x and y repeatedly between the limits 0 and
1 (for x ) and between the limits 0 and 1 (for y ) we get a
double integral that is denoted by the symbol
,
1

Extending the concept of double integral one step further,
we get the triple integral, denoted by

3. EVALUATION OF DOUBLE AND TRIPLE
INTEGRALS
To evaluate ,

first integrate , with
respect to x partially, treating y as constant temporarily,
between the limits 0 and 1.
Then integrate the resulting function of y with respect to y
between the limits 0 and 1 as usual.

Note:
Integral with variable limits should be the innermost integral
and it should be integrated first and then the constant limits.

20. CHANGE of ORDER OF INTEGRATION
If the limits of integration in a double integral are
constants, then the order of integration can be
changed, provided the relevant limits are taken
for the concerned variables.
When the limits for inner integration are
functions of a variable, the change in the order of
integration will result in changes in the limits of
integration.
i.e. ,
2
1
will take the form
,
ℎ2( )
ℎ1( )
This process of converting a given double
integral into its equivalent double integral by
changing the order of integration is called the
change of order of integration.
