Volume Using the Method of Disks (Discs), Slicing, and Washers Example 1
My personal notes on using the method of disks.
Remember, Calculus is all about the infinitesimal. In this example I graph the region and split it up into an infinite number of disks and sum them all together.
The idea of finding volumes by slicing/disks/washers is one explored in great detail in most Calculus 2 courses. You have to visualize the graph not as a whole, but as many smaller parts added together.
