where 𝑢, 𝑣 varies in some region R of the 𝑢𝑣 −plane. This mapping (1) maps every point 𝑢, 𝑣 in R onto the point of S

Hence the partial derivatives 𝒓𝑢 and 𝒓𝑣 are tangential to S at the point P. We assume they are linearly independent, which
geometrically means that the curves 𝒖 =constant and 𝒗 =constant on S intersect at P at a nonzero angle. Then 𝒓𝑢 and 𝒓𝑣
span the tangent plane of S at P. Hence their cross product gives a normal vector 𝑵 of S at P.

Let 𝑓 be a continuous scalar-valued function on a smooth surface S given parametrically by

where 𝑢, 𝑣 varies over a region R in the 𝑢𝑣 −plane. Assume also that the tangent vectors
𝒓𝑢 and 𝒓𝑣 are continuous on R. Then the surface integral of 𝑓 over S is

Oriented Surfaces
In order to define surface integrals of vector fields, we need to rule out non-orientable surfaces such as
Möbius strip. Since, a Möbius strip has only one side.
Here we consider only orientable (two-sided) surfaces. Let S be a surface and has a tangent plane at
every point 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 on S (except at any boundary points). There are two unit normal vectors 𝑛1 and
𝑛2 = −𝑛1 at 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 . If it possible to choose a unit normal 𝑛 at every such point 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 so that 𝑛
varies continuously over S is called an oriented surface and the given 𝑛 provides S with an orientation.
𝒓 𝑢, 𝑣 = 𝑥 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒊 + 𝑦 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒋 + 𝑧 𝑢, 𝑣 𝒌
where 𝑢, 𝑣 varies over a region R in the 𝑢𝑣 −plane. Let S be a piecewise smooth and has a normal vector 𝒏 at every point
(except perhaps for some edges or cusps as for a cube or cone). For a given vector vector function 𝑭 we can define the
surface integral over S by
ඵ 𝑭 ⋅ 𝒏 𝑑𝑆 = ඵ 𝑭 𝒓(𝑢, 𝑣) ⋅ 𝑵 𝑢, 𝑣 𝑑𝑢𝑑𝑣
𝑆 𝑅
This integral is also called the flux integral or flux of 𝑭 across the surface S.
