This course builds upon introductory calculus, extending ideas into multiple dimensions and working in 3D.
The focus is on integrals in 3D, differentiation, and developing theorems for physical laws.
Starting with a revision on multiple integrals in two dimensions, understanding the informal definition of integrals.
Integrals in one dimension involve subdividing intervals into sub-intervals and summing up rectangles to find the area under a curve.
Extending to two dimensions, considering a scalar field over a region in the plane and computing the volume under the surface.
Partitioning the plane into small elements and summing volumes to find the double integral over a region.
Properties of double integrals include linearity, order, and domain splitting, which can simplify computations.
Examples involve integrating functions over rectangular domains, choosing to integrate first with respect to X or Y.
Integrating over a rectangular domain simplifies calculations due to the independence of X and Y.
Drawing diagrams and working from the inside out aids in solving double integral problems efficiently.

The process involves fixing X to fix the domain, splitting it into vertical slithers, and summing them up to find the area.
The integral over R of X^2 y cubed is calculated by changing the order of integration to Dy DX, with X between 1 and 2 and Y between 1 and 3.
The result of the integration is 20x cubed over 3 between 1 and 2, yielding 140 over 3 as expected.
The integral can also be approached by acknowledging the rectangular domain and splitting the integrals for X^2 and Y cubed.
Linearity allows for simplification in the integration process, pulling out constants and simplifying the calculations.
The integral properties discussed in the lecture notes can be utilized for double integrals, providing further insights and sanity checks.
For continuous and bounded functions on a rectangular domain, the order of integration can be interchanged without affecting the result.
Rectangles are straightforward for integration, but for more complex domains, careful consideration of limits and order of integration is crucial.
An example is provided for calculating the area of a region bounded by a parabola, the x-axis, and a line, illustrating the process of integration with respect to X and Y in different orders.
