Sweeping Integral Examples
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows the volume of a solid bounded by three surfaces. Such a volume can be computed by the three-dimensional sweeping integral. The three integrations can be performed in different orders; use the three trigger controls to see how the volume is swept out.
