hey guys i dont get this double integration example in my book
ill use S for integral
SSysin(xy)dA=S(from c to d)S(from a to b)ysin(xy)dxdy=S(from c to d)[-cos(xy)](from b to c)dy
thats the part i dont get, when it is integrated with respect to x leaving y constant how is the integral of
ysin(xy)=-cos(xy)??
book doesnt explain help please?

where did the y in front of sin go?

Consider what the derivative of -cos (xy) with respect to x is:

d(-cos (xy))/dx
sin (xy) d(xy)/dx
sin (xy) y

Or using u-substitution:

∫y sin (xy) dx
u=(xy), du=y dx
∫sin u du
-cos (xy)

The reason the y disappears is precisely the same reason that the 2 disappears when integrating 2x to obtain x² -- namely, the inversion of the chain rule for differentiation.

I always hated that myself...dont rmeember much of it, Anyway, conceptually, double integrals are usually a way to turn contour integrals into regular integrals by sorta bending the coodrinate system around the contour until there isnt one anymore. What was in your book could easily be a typo. Ask the teacher about it or something. What u have to keep in mind is that a lot of the vector calculus stuff is actually a little bit arbitrary...you are used to dealign with tangents in 2d calculus but in 3d its easy to forget that theres actually 6 or 7 different ways to define the tangent, and the only reason they tend to pick one of them is because it makes things shorter....but its kinda arbitrary...I dont know, i always took a little comfort in remembering that personally.
oh i just saw that other guys answer. I dont get it really. integral of a constant times some function teh constant doesnt vanish, right? has it been that long? haha.

it truly is a really thrilling post. a number of it dovetails now with what I already be conscious of or said in my little while in Egypt. the in person-friendly words element i visit point is that both you and your husband can could make allowances for one yet another's expectancies to make this artwork. i'm taking into consideration my American aunt and her Danish husband, how they met one yet another 0.5 way. for sure, Egypt is even further culturally, yet you seem getting a fairly strong take care of on issues. i have heard that the platforms there are so complicated that you won't be able to then again a lot as make a motel reservation with out an Egyptian that could help you, and my personal journey signifies it truly is proper.

Let I = ∫ y.sin (xy) dx
Now when integrating w.r.t.x , the y is considered a constant.
I = - y.cos(x.y) / y = - cos (x.y)
