vector calculus integration identity problem

3

$begingroup$

This is a follow up from another post . I was using the integration symbol available in the Basic Math Assistance available in Wolfram Mathematica.

I am new to vector calculus operations. There is a known identity found in the textbooks

$$int _4 pi hats (hatscdot A) d omega=frac4 pi3A$$

I have no idea how to do this type of integration. This is what I tried but return a dissaster

Integrate[s*(Dot[s, A]), s, 0, 4 [Pi]]

Also , without success

Integrate[Sin[[Theta]], 
 Cos[[Theta]]*(Dot[Sin[[Theta]], Cos[[Theta]], a1, 
 a2]), [Theta], 0, 4 [Pi]]

It is obviosu that I am doing something fundamentally not correct. I go to WM documentation on Vector Calculus but does not offer much substance or examples. How will you enter the equation above in order to return the identity in the right?

UPDATE 1

In respond to comment, here is a copy of the text. This is from page 10 Optical-Thermal Response of Laser-Irradiated Tissue ISBN 9789048188307

$$w$$ is the surface area of a sphere in solid angle steradian. s is the directional vector of a pencil of radiation located inside the sphere

Here's my guess:

With[s = x, y, z,
 A = A1, A2, A3, Integrate[s (s.A), s ∈ Sphere[]] ] 
(* (4 A1 π)/3, (4 A2 π)/3, (4 A3 π)/3 *)

--- or this:

With[s = x, y, z, A = A1, A2, A3,
 Integrate[s (s.A), s ∈ Sphere[]] == 4 Pi/3 A ]
(* True *)

  @Jose, the author was being lazy with the limits (basically, shorter than saying "integrate over the whole area of the unit sphere"). It is fine to be lazy in mathematics, but not so much when programming.

  @Jose: the easiest way is that you have to switch to spherical coordinates if you need to integrate across arbitrary angles. If you insist on keeping yourself to regions, you can use RegionIntersection[] with Sphere[] and either ConicHullRegion[] or HalfSpace[].
