The main idea like in many other tests is to evaluate the same quantity in two different ways and then compare the results. If everything is correct the results should be close up to some rounding precision error.</p> <p>When dealing with surface vs volume calculation a familiar method from multi-variable calculus is the Divergence theorem [1] :</p>
