MULTIPLE INTEGRAL


Meaning of MULTIPLE INTEGRAL in English

In calculus , the integral of a function of more than one variable.

As the integral of a function of one variable over an interval results in an area, the double integral of a function of two variables calculated over a region results in a volume. Functions of three variables have triple integrals, and so on. Like the single integral, such constructions are useful in calculating the net change in a function that results from changes in its input values.
