Surface integral ex3 part 1: Parameterizing the outside surface | Khan Academy
TLDRThe video script discusses the process of calculating a surface integral, focusing on a specific shape that can be decomposed into three separate surfaces. It explains how to handle the integral of the first surface quickly by recognizing that it lies on the xy plane where z equals zero, resulting in a zero integral. The script then moves on to the second surface, detailing its parameterization using trigonometric functions and setting up the cross product to find dS. The magnitude of the cross product simplifies to 1, leaving dS as du dv, with the actual integral evaluation to be continued in the next video.
Takeaways
- 📐 The problem involves calculating a surface integral over a specific shape, which can be decomposed into three separate surfaces.
- 🔍 Surface 1 is the filled-in unit circle on the xy-plane, where z is always 0, leading to a surface integral of 0 for this part.

- 📈 To parameterize Surface 2, x is cosine(u), y is sine(u), and z (referred to as v) is less than or equal to 1 - x (or 1 - cosine(u))
- 🤔 The parameterization for Surface 2 involves two parameters, u and v, where u represents the angle around the unit circle and v represents the height above the boundary.
- 📚 The cross product of the partial derivatives with respect to u and v is required to find dS, the differential surface element.
- 🎯 The partial derivative with respect to u for Surface 2 is given by -sine(u)i + cosine(u)j, and the partial derivative with respect to v is ki.
- 🔢 The determinant of the matrix formed by the partial derivatives results in the cross product, which simplifies to ui + vj + 0k.
- 🌟 The magnitude of the cross product equals 1, as it is derived from the unit circle, which satisfies the basic trigonometric identity of sine squared plus cosine squared equals 1.
