TRIPLE INTEGRAL OVER A BOX
Consider a function w = f (x, y, z) of three variables defined on the box B given by
Divide B into sub-boxes by dividing the interval [a, b] into l subintervals of equal width Δx, dividing [c, d] into m subintervals of equal width Δy, and dividing [r, s] into n subintervals of equal width Δz. This divides the box B into l∙m∙n sub-boxes. A typical sub-box Bilk is
Bijk = [xi − 1, xi] × [yj − 1, yj] × [zk − 1, zk]
Each sub-box has volume ΔV = Δx Δy Δz.

The triple integral of f over the box B is
if this limit exists.
The triple integral always exists if f is continuous. If we choose the sample point to be (xi, yj, zk), the triple integral simplifies to
