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 $\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_{\pi/2}^{3\pi/2} sin(\phi)cos(\phi)e^{cos(\phi)} d\theta d\phi$.
