Problem with Spherical Surface Integral

Noone1982
$$A\; =\; 4\dot{r}\; +\; 3\dot{\theta }\; -\; 2\dot{\phi }$$

Now the surface integral integral is:

$$\int_{}^{}{\left( ?\times A \right)\; •\; da}$$

(the ? mark is a del operator and the dot over a variable means a unit vector)

$$?\times A\; =\frac{\dot{r}}{r\sin \theta }\left[ \frac{\partial }{\partial \theta }\left( \sin \theta A_{\phi } \right)\; -\; \frac{\partial A_{\theta }}{\partial \phi } \right]\; +\; \frac{\dot{\theta }}{r}\left[ \frac{1}{\sin \theta }\frac{\partial A_{r}}{\partial \phi }\; -\; \frac{\partial }{\partial r}\left( rA_{\phi } \right) \right]\; +\; \frac{\dot{\phi }}{r}\left[ \frac{\partial }{\partial r}\left( rA_{\theta } \right)\; -\; \frac{\partial A_{r}}{\partial \theta } \right]$$

I get:

$$?\times A\; =\frac{\dot{r}}{r\sin \theta }\left[ \left( -2\cos \theta \right)\; -\; 0 \right]\; +\; \frac{\dot{\theta }}{r}\left[ \frac{1}{\sin \theta }\left( 0 \right)\; +\; 2 \right]\; +\; \frac{\dot{\phi }}{r}\left[ 3\; -0 \right]$$

Now I dot this to da

where da is:

$$da\; =\; r^{2}\sin \theta \; d\theta \; d\phi \; \dot{r}\; +\; r\sin \theta \; dr\; d\phi \; \dot{\theta }\; +\; r\; dr\; d\theta \; \dot{\phi }$$

I get:

$$\int_{}^{}{\int_{}^{}{}}-2\cos \theta r\; d\theta \; d\phi \; \; +\; \int_{}^{}{\int_{}^{}{}}2\sin \theta \; dr\; d\phi \; +\int_{0}^{ro}{\int_{\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\frac{\pi }{2}}{}}3\; dr\; d\theta \;$$

which equals:

$$-2\sin \theta r\phi \; +\; 2\sin \theta r\phi \; +\; \frac{3}{2}\pi r_{o}\; =\; \frac{3}{2}\pi r_{o}$$

$$-\pi r_{0}$$
He doesn't need to change basis, he just messed up his LaTeX. There are supposed to be dot products among the basis vectors in there. So while $\hat{r}$ does depend on position, $\hat{r}\cdot\hat{r}$ does not.
