Volume by slicing: ,
Write the volume of one slice as face area times thickness, , and show how the sum of the slices becomes the integral as the slices get thinner.
The disk method:
Draw the 2-D cross-section with one vertical slice, revolve it about the -axis into a disk of radius , and record the two things still needed: from the curve and the limits.
Example: the ball of radius
From derive , read the limits and off the picture, and integrate to .
The cap volume
Stop the integral at to get the cap formula, check that is half the ball, and note its use for the overlapping bands of clumping particles.
