Triple integral
Definition
Let with , and let be bounded. Partition each interval , and let be the resulting closed sub-boxes, with volumes . For points , the sum is a Riemann sum of . The function is Riemann integrable on if there is with this property. For each , there is with for all Riemann sums whose sub-boxes have diameter less than . Then is the triple integral of over , written .
Remarks
This is the case of the multiple integral over a box. The case is the double integral. For a bounded solid , the integral over is the integral over of times the indicator function of . The volume of is , when this integral exists. By Fubini's theorem, for continuous the triple integral equals an iterated integral. For example, .
