A volume integral is a triple integral of the constant function 1, which gives the volume of the region D. That is, the integral
It can also mean a triple integral within a region D in R3 of a function and is usually written as:
A volume integral in cylindrical coordinates is
and a volume integral in spherical coordinates (using the standard convention for angles, i.e. with φ as the azimuth) has the form
