Triple Integrals:
The triple integral is defined in a similar manner to that
of the double integral if f(x,y,z) is continuous and
single-valued function of x, y, z over the region R of
space enclosed by the surface S. We sub divide the
region R into rectangular cells by planes parallel to the
three co-ordinate planes(fig 1).The parallelopipedcells
may have the dimensions of δx, δy and δz.Wenumber
the cells inside R as δV1, δV2,…..δVn.
.
In each such parallelopipedcell we choose an arbitrary
point in the k thpareallelopipedcell whose volume is
δVkand then we form the sum

Triple Integrals In Cylindrical
Coordinates:
We obtain cylindrical coordinates for space by
combining polar coordinates (r, θ) in the xy-plane with
the usual z-axis.
This assigns every point in space one or more
coordinates triples of the form (r, θ, z) as shown in
figure.2.
.
Definition : Cylindrical coordinate
Cylindrical coordinate represent a point P in space by orders triples (r, θ, z) in which
1. (r, θ) are polar coordinates for the vertical projection of P on xy-plane.
2. z is the rectangular vertical coordinates.
The rectangular (x , y , z) and cylindrical coordinates are related by the
usual equations as follow :
x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ, z = z

Triple Integrals in Spherical Co-
ordinates:
Spherical coordinates locate points in space is with two
angles and one distance, as shown in figure.3.
The first coordinate P = |OP|, is the point’s
distance from the origin.
The second coordinate ф, is the angle OP make with the
positive z-axis.
It is required to lie in the interval 0 ≤ ф≤ π.
The third coordinate is the angle θas measured in
cylindrical coordinates.

Definition : Spherical coordinates
Spherical coordinates represent a point P in ordered triples (ƍ, θ, ф) in
which
1. ƍis the distance from P to the origin.
2. θis the angle from cylindrical coordinates.
3. фis the angle OP makes with the positive z-axis (0 ≤ ф≤ π).
The rectangular coordinates (x , y, z) and spherical coordinates are related
by the
following equations :
x = ƍsinфcosθ, y = ƍsinфsinθ, z = P cosф.
