This book delves into volume and surface integrals, exploring their applications in physics, particularly potential theory. These integrals are mathematical tools used to calculate the potential and attraction of bodies with discontinuous structures, such as sand or granular matter. The author investigates the validity of these expressions when applied to bodies with discrete particles, considering the concept of density in continuous media and the physical implications of using volume integrals to represent the potential of such bodies. The book examines the convergence of volume integrals and discusses the limitations of using integrals to represent potentials and attractions at points within the gravitating body. It presents theorems connecting volume and surface integrals, and explores their application to potential theory. The author also examines the differentiation of volume integrals and its significance in potential theory. Through these explorations, the book provides valuable insights into the mathematical underpinnings of potential theory and its applications in physics, offering a deeper understanding of the behavior of bodies with discontinuous structures.
