Integrals aren't as annoying as moar integrals? Your words confuse me.
The complexity of solving a nested integral problem goes up much faster than the number of integrals involved.
In order to find the mass of an arbitrary 3D shape with a given density function, you first need to first define the boundaries in a particular way, then integrate the density function multiplied by a "constant" expression that depends on the coordinate system you're using (for Cartesian coords, it's just 1; for spherical, it's rho^2 * sin(theta)) three times, keeping track of which variables you're treating as constants and which ones drop out because you're integrating them, and then you might find that one of the integrals is impossible to solve, so you have to go back to square one and define the boundaries a different way. There's six different ways to do that (for three dimensions), so if you've got a problem where only one works and you don't have a very clear idea of what you're doing, you might guess wrong five times before finding the right one.
I'm glad I'm through with Calc III.
