Iterated Integral Theorem

ITERATED INTEGRAL THEOREM

If E is the region

a1 ≤ x ≤ a2, b1(x) ≤ y ≤ b2(x), c1(x, y) ≤ z ≤ c2(x, y),

then

If the region E is a rectangular box

a1 ≤ x ≤ a2, bl ≤ y ≤ b2, c1≤ z ≤ c2,

there are six different iterated integrals over E, corresponding to six different orders of integration. Here they are (in "alphabetical" order).

The Iterated Integral Theorem shows that each of these iterated integrals is equal to the triple integral
