Calculate the surface integral of ''f(x,y)'' as the square root of ''x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup>'' over an ''xy''-planar region ''S'' bounded by ''x<sup>2</sup> + y<sup>2</sup> = 64'':

The volume integral of a vector or non-vector function is simply the triple integral of the function over the orthogonal coordinates of the space. It is useful in physics and mechanical engineering and plays a key role in the [[Divergence Theorem]].

The volume integral is also known as the "space integral."
