SPHERE_INTEGRALS
Integrals on the Surface of the Unit Sphere in 3D

SPHERE_INTEGRALS is a FORTRAN90 library which returns the exact value of the integral of any monomial over the surface of the unit sphere in 3D.

The surface of the unit sphere in 3D is defined by

        x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1
      

The integrands are all of the form

        f(x,y,z) = x^a y^b z^c
