n is the normal vector to the surface (oriented outwards) at any given point. Thus, F.n is the component of F projecting outwards at any given point, and the surface integral represents the total outwards flux of F through the given surface.

If the surface is given by a function (x, y, z) = f(s, t), then the tangent plane to the surface at any point has vectors u = (∂x/∂s, ∂y/∂s, ∂z/∂s) and v = (∂x/∂t, ∂y/∂t, ∂z/∂t), and the normal is given by n = u×v.
