Green's and Stokes' theorems can by used on surface integrals, just like they are used for 2-D integrals.

The math is a little more complex, however.

Google: 'line surface and volume integrals'
 
I am searching for something similar to this:

EDIT: I think that the volume can be calculated by:
[tex]V=\iint_{S}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\subset\!\supset xdydz = \iint_{S}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\subset\!\supset ydzdx = \iint_{S}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\subset\!\supset zdxdy = \frac{1}{3}\iint_{S}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\subset\!\supset (xdydz+ydzdx+zdxdy)[/tex]

Correct?

This equation is really correct?
