What trick am I missing? This problem is too nasty to solve the normal way
"Let $\textbf{n}$ be the outer unit normal of the elliptical half-shell $S: 4x^2 + 9y^2 + 36 z^2 = 36, z \geq 0$, and let
$\textbf{F} = 5 y \textbf{i} + 5 x^2 \textbf{j} + 5 (x^2 + y^4)^{3/2} \sin e^{\sqrt{xyz}}\textbf{k}$.
Find the value of $\mathop{\iint}_S \big(\nabla \times F) \cdot \textbf{n}~\textrm{d}\sigma$
Hint: One parametrization of the ellipse at the base of the shell is $x = 3 \cos t, y = 2 \sin t, 0 \leq t \leq 2 \pi$. But you can avoid a line integral altogether."
