In this video, we break down how to do integrals in spherical coordinates, including deriving the infinitesimal displacement vector, dL, in the r, theta, and phi directions.

We end by doing an example where we use spherical coordinates to calculate the volume of a sphere of radius R! Your challenge: try to do this problem FIRST, and then watch along and check your answer.
