How do we compute flux?

Today we went over evaluating SSs f(x,y) ds some more, and then learned another integral: the flux integral. The integral is SS F dot n ds. This eventually gives us the following, more practical equations:
1) SSd F dot (-Gxi-Gyk+k)dA
2) SSd F dot (Ru x Rv) dA

Using these integrals, you can evaluate the flux, or the flow, of the surface in the direction given.
