Solids of Revolution and Known Cross-Sections

This book deals with a very specific topic: the calculation of volumes using the Definite Integrals. For this goal, the methods used are two: generation of solids by turning curves and definition of differential elements of volume based on the areas of simple geometric figures such as triangles and rectangles.

In this way we present the mathematical fundamentals for the design of containers and for the calculation of capacities of tanks and reservoirs, knowledge of great importance in many types of industries.
