Remark: Persons who study more advanced mathematical analysis may encounter
the following elegant theorem. If S is a set in E,,, if S1 is a subset of S having
measure 0, if
(3) f(P) = uI(P) + uz(P) + ua(P) + ...
when P is in S but not in S1, and if uk(P) > 0 for each k i% hen P is in S, then the
formula
(4) ff(P)dS=
fu3(P)dS+ fuz(P)dS+ J ua(P)dS+. ..
is valid provided the integrals exist as Riemann integrals or Riemann-Cauchy
integrals or Lebesgue integrals.

10 This long problem is for persons who wish to become good mathematicians
or physicists or engineers and who realize that the best ones start learning about
important things while they are young and then continue to learn more. Make
a large copy of Figure 13.291 showing the set S which is the set of points (x,y)
for which a 5 x < b and f, (x) < y 5 f2 (x) and is also the set of points (x,y)
for which c 5 y < d and gi(y) S x < g2(y). Let C be the curve consisting of the
boundary of S traversed once in the positive direction. Let F and G be continuous
over S and let
(1) I = ff5F(x,y) dS, J =
ffsG(x,y) dS.
Show that

We enter a gate to an important scientific garden when we suppose that P and Q
are functions which are defined and have continuous first-order partial derivatives
over S and put
(3) F(x,y) =aQ= Q, (x,y), G(x,y) = 8y= PY(x,y)
Show that in this case
