Therefore, the change in surface area can be approximated to be a rectangle and is equal to:

$$dS=(dr)(rd\phi)$$

!!! example
|
||||
The area of a circle can be expressed as $A=\int^{2\pi}_0\int^R_0 r\ dr\ d\phi$.
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\begin{align*}
|
||||
A&=\int^{2\pi}_0\frac{1}{2}R^2\ d\phi \\
|
||||
&=\pi R^2
|
||||
\end{align*}
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
So long as the variables are independent of each other, their order does not matter. Otherwise, the dependent variable must be calculated first.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
!!! tip
|
||||
There is a shortcut for integrals of cosine and sine squared, **so long as $a=0$ and $b$ is a multiple of $\frac\pi 2$**:
|
||||
|
||||
$$
|
||||
\int^b_a\cos^2\phi=\frac{b-a}{2} \\
|
||||
\int^b_a\sin^2\phi=\frac{b-a}{2}
|
||||
$$
|
||||
|
||||
## Cartesian coordinates
|
||||
|
||||
The axes in a Cartesian coordinate plane must be orthogonal so that increasing a value in one axis does not affect any other. The axes must also point in directions that follow the **right hand rule**.
