Hi,
I would like to calculate the following integration:

\oint_{\Sigma}f(x,y)g(x,y)\mathbf{n}\cdot d\mathbf{s}

where g(x,y)=0 on \Sigma, and \mathbf{n} is the outward pointing unit normal field of the boundary \Sigma.

In this case does the integral equals to 0?

Thanks!

In this case does the integral equals to 0?

Thanks!
You forgot the [ tex ] and [ /tex ] tags!
Yes, if your integrand is always 0, the integral is 0. Isn't that obvious?
