SUMMARY

The integral $\int sze^z dS$ is evaluated over the portion of the unit sphere where $x,y < 0$ and $z > 0$. The correct interpretation of the integral simplifies to $\int\int ze^z dS$, with the unit sphere defined by $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$. The surface area differential is expressed as $sin(\phi)d\theta d\phi$, and the integration limits for $\theta$ are from $\pi/2$ to $3\pi/2$, while $z$ varies from 0 to $\pi/2$. The resulting integral is $\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2} sin(\phi)cos(\phi)e^{cos(\phi)} d\theta d\phi$.

"Portion", not "protion"! I know that "dS" is the surface area integral but what is that small "s"?

If you mean just $\int\int ze^z dS$, then the unit sphere centered at the origin can be written as $x^2+ y^2+ z^2= 1$ or, in parametric equations, $x= cos(\theta)sin(\phi)$, $y= sin(\theta)sin(\phi)$, $z= cos(\phi)$ or, equivalently, as the vector function $(cos(\theta)sin(\phi), sin(\theta)sin(\phi), cos(\phi))$. The "differential of surface area" of the unit sphere is given by $sin(\phi)d\theta d\phi$. The region such that x and y are both negative and z is positive is that where $\theta$ is from $\pi/2$ and $3\pi/2$ and z is from 0 to $\pi/2$. $ze^z$, with $z= cos(\phi)$ is $cos(\phi)e^{cos(\phi)}$ so the integral is $\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2} sin(\phi)cos(\phi)e^{cos(\phi)} d\theta d\phi$.
