Triple Integrals in cylindrical Coordinates
Fubini’S Theorem • If f is continuous on the rectangular box B = [a, b] x [c, d] x [r, s], then
How about if we consider another solid, which is NOT rectangular box?
• Not always: – The upper boundary of the solid E is the surface with equation z = u 2(x, y). – The lower boundary is the surface z = u 1(x, y).
In general, we’ve:
• Sometimes it isn’t easy to compute the integral given by
• For instance, is extremely difficult to evaluate.
So what? Changing the coordinate system?
Cylindrical coordinate system

Converting between rectangular and Cylindrical Coordinates Cylindrical to rectangular (r, , z) r Rectangular to Cylindrical r
Evaluating Triple Integrals with Cylindrical Coordinates • We can convert a triple integral from rectangular to cylindrical coordinates by writing x = r cos , y = r sin , leaving z as it is, • using the appropriate limits of integration for z, r, and replacing d. V by ? ? ? ? r dz dr d.
Volume element in cylindrical coordinates: d. V = r dz dr d • The figure shows how. to remember this.
When do we use Cylindrical CS? • Cylindrical coordinates are useful in problems that involve symmetry about an axis, and the z-axis is chosen to coincide with this axis of symmetry.
– For instance, the axis of the circular cylinder with Cartesian equation x 2 + y 2 = c 2 is the z-axis. – In cylindrical coordinates, this cylinder has the very simple equation r = c. – This is the reason for the name “cylindrical” coordinates.
