Using Mathematica to Illustrate Volumes of Revolution

Using Mathematica to Illustrate Volumes of Revolution

Alvin Sherman Library 2053

Mathematica is a system for Doing Mathematics by Computer. It is used by a wide range of industries to help in complex calculations for precise results. For this Calculus 2 project we will demonstrate volumes of revolution. Volumes of revolution are used today in industries such as plastics and container manufacturing, yet not limited to these two applications. We will present the steps and processes to perform these calculations and show the ease and agility of the Mathematica software application.
