then, one of the normal vector of this surface is ( z x , z y ,1). Notice that γ is the angle between this vector and the positive direction of z – axis, 1 then cos . So, 2 2 zx z y 1 1 2 S d z x z2 y 1d |cos | ( xy ) ( xy )

Integrating Over a Surface
Example Integrate f ( x , y , z ) xyz over the surface of the cube cut from the first octant by the planes x 1, y 1 and z 1. Solution We integrate xyz over each of the
Similarly, if the surface can be expressed as
y f ( x , z ), ( x , z ) ( xz ) R 2 , or x f ( y , z ), ( y , z ) ( yz ) R 2 ,
we have

y y( x , z ), ( x , z ) ( xz ) R 2 ,
then the surface integral of first type of f on (S) can be reduce to double integral
