Each of the rectangles has a base area of 

ΔAΔA and a height
of f(x∗i,y∗j)f(xi∗,yj∗) so the volume of each of these boxes
is f(x∗i,y∗j)ΔAf(xi∗,yj∗)ΔA. The volume under the surface SS is then
approximately,

V≈n∑i=1m∑j=1f(x∗i,y∗j)ΔA

We will have a double sum since we will need to add up volumes in

both the xx and yy directions.

To get a better estimation of the volume we will take nn and mm larger

and larger and to get the exact volume we will need to take the limit as
both nn and mm go to infinity. In other words,

V=limn,m→∞n∑i=1m∑j=1f(x∗i,y∗j)ΔA
