“Calculus Tutor: Calculating Volume With Integrals”

The Calculus Tutor covers all of the core topics in detail. What sets this series apart is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Calculus. This lesson teaches students how to apply the concept of the integral in order to calculate the volume of an object. Problems of this type involve a function that is revolved around the x-axis to make a three dimensional shape. The goal is to find the volume of this shape. The student is taught how to set up the problem and solve the integrals accordingly.
