in Huygens-Fresnel principle, U(P)=K*∫∫U(Q)*F(θ0,θ0)*exp{ikr}/r*d∑
K=-i/λ; F(θ0,θ0)=0.5(cosθ0+cosθ) is inclination factor; d∑ is a small part of any close surfaces; these are all include in any Beam Optics book

I want to demonstrate the spherical wave point source S gives out, all the d∑ in the spherical surface as Secondary Source, whose light come to point P, equals to S only

I don't know how to integrate,coz it seems to hard to me.
Please show the process. Any book involves is available too.Thanks

I'm so confused that no one could give me any answer...Is it because I didn't get the idea through? Please let me know...thx
 
I can't understand the formula U(P)=K*∫∫U(Q)*F(θ0,θ0)*exp{ikr}/r*d∑.
Can you express it more clearly?
