Hilariously Fast Volume Computation with the Divergence Theorem (2018)

A blog post by Alyssa Rosenzweig presenting an efficient algorithm for computing the volume of closed triangulated 3D meshes using the Divergence Theorem, converting a triple integral into a surface integral over triangles. The approach derives a closed-form formula applicable to simple meshes, with potential extensions to other mesh types.

Background
