Multiple Integration
The multiple integral is a generalization of the definite integral to functions of more than one
real variable, for example, f(x, y) or f(x, y, z). Integrals of a function of two variables over a region
in R2 are called double integrals, and integrals of a function of three variables over a region of R3 are
called triple integrals. Multiple Integral also known as iterated integrals because we integrate more
than once.

integration is altered.
