GOAL: To integrate a function f(x,y,z) over a bounded 3-dimensional solid region in space.
Generalization to bounded regions (solids) E in 3-space: 1. To integrate f(x,y,z) over E we enclose E in a box B 2. Then define F(x,y,z) to agree with f(x,y,z) on E, but is 0 for points of B outside E. 3. Then Fubini’s theorem applies, and we define
Definition: A solid region E is said to be of type 1 if it lies between the graphs of two continuous functions of x and y, that is
Using techniques similar to what was needed for double integrals one can show that
