Why we got zero flux in Divergence Theorem Example 1
Intuition as to why we go no net flux in the last worked example
Divergence theorem (3D)
An earlier tutorial used Green's theorem to prove the divergence theorem in 2-D, this tutorial gives us the 3-D version (what most people are talking about when they refer to the "divergence theorem"). We will get an intuition for it (that the flux through a close surface--like a balloon--should be equal to the divergence across it's volume). We will use it in examples. We will prove it in another tutorial.

Type II Regions in Three Dimensions
Definition and intuition for Type 2 Regions

Types of regions in three dimensions
This tutorial classifies regions in three dimensions. Comes in useful for some types of double integrals and we use these ideas to prove the divergence theorem.
