Divergence Theorem: Find Delta Function at Origin

[QUOTE="bowlbase, post: 4487402, member: 450969"] As soon as I posted this I realized my problem. So, imagining myself in the center of a sphere and my arm pointed out holding a paint brush as the r vector: I spin 360 degrees painting a line all the way around. Then raising my arm and spinning again I paint a little more above the previous line. I keep doing this until my arm is 90 degrees and the top half of the sphere is painted. In other words I've painted half the sphere by increasing theta by pi over 2. To get the rest I can just flip the sphere and continue another 90 degrees. Meaning my integration is from 0 to pi for theta and 0 to 2 pi for phi. It's kind of a weird visualization I guess but it helped me so I'm just leaving it here for anyone else stuck on such a problem. Thanks anyway! [/QUOTE]
