SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the application of the Divergence Theorem to compute the flux integral for the vector field F, defined by the divergence as div F = 3x² + 3y² + 3z². The integral is transformed into spherical coordinates, resulting in the triple integral 3∫₀²π∫₀ᵖ∫₀¹ p⁴ sin(φ) dp dφ dθ, which evaluates to 2.4π. Participants confirm the correctness of this calculation.
