MHB Double & Triple Integrals: Same Solution?

Click For Summary
When performing double or triple integrals, the order of integration does not affect the final result, provided the integral boundaries are correctly set and the integrand allows for finding an antiderivative. It is crucial to understand how to reverse the order of integration, especially when dealing with complex integrands. An example illustrates that changing the order of integration, such as switching dy and dx, yields the same outcome. However, the ability to reverse the order depends on the specific integrand and limits of integration. Overall, proper setup and understanding of the integrand are key to achieving consistent results in multiple integrals.

when taking double or triple integrals, do you get the same solution no matter which variable you integrate with respect to first?

You have asked a fat question there. You will get the same solution no matter what order you choose to integrate the variables in as long as you have set up the integral boundaries in each case, and as long as it is possible to find an antiderivative of the integrand in each way (sometimes you can't, which is why it is important to know how to reverse the order of integration).
 
what do you mean by how to reverse the order of the integrand? say if you have like $\int_{0}^{2} \, \int_{0}^{4} \, \int_{1}^{2} \ NHN, dy dx dz$ , that would be the same as $\int_{0}^{4} \, \int_{0}^{2} \, \int_{1}^{2} \ NHN, dx dy dz$, right?a fat question? (Wondering)
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
