The arrays x, y, and z, which define the coordinates for the vector components u, v, and w, must be monotonic, but do not need to be uniformly spaced. In order to use the divergence theorem, we need to close off the surface by inserting the region on the xyplane inside the paraboloid, which we will call d.
