Taking $V$ as a box in the curvilinear coordinates, with side lengths $h_udu$, $h_vdv$, and $h_wdw$ the surface integral is computed by projecting $F$ onto each normal area element and multiplying by the area.

Spherical coordinates describe a point in space by a radius from the origin, $r$ or $\rho$; a azimuthal angle $\theta$ in $[0, 2\pi]$ and an *inclination* angle $\phi$ (also called polar angle) in $[0, \pi]$. The $z$ axis is the direction of the zenith and gives a reference line to define the inclination angle.

Not all vector fields are conservative. How can a vector field in $U$ be identified as conservative? For now, this would require either finding a scalar potential *or* showing all line integrals are path independent.
In dimension $2$ there is an easy to check method assuming $U$ is *simply connected*: If $F=\langle F_x, F_y\rangle$ is continuously differentiable in an simply connected region *and* $\partial{F_y}/\partial{x} - \partial{F_x}/\partial{y} = 0$ then $F$ is conservative. A similarly statement is available in dimension $3$. The reasoning behind this will come from the upcoming Green's theorem.

For a parameterized curve, $\vec{r}(t)$, the **line integral** of a scalar function between $a \leq t \leq b$ is defined by: $\int_a^b f(\vec{r}(t)) \| \vec{r}'(t)\| dt$. For a path parameterized by arc-length, the integral is expressed by $\int_C f(\vec{r}(s)) ds$ or simply $\int_C f ds$, as the norm is $1$ and $C$ expresses the path.
