Visualization Tools for Slicing Solids    Each link below leads to one or more visualizations tools... http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/calc/renshi/renshi.html Applet shows how to find the volume of a solid whose base is a region in the xy plane and whose cross-sections perpendicular to the the x-axis are squares. http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/calc/rhansan/rhansan.html Applet shows how to find the volume of a solid by slicing. http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/calc/rotate/rotate.html Applet lets you rotate the cross-section generating the solid, visualize the transversal (circular) cross-sections and rotate the image of the solid to change the view point. http://www.ies.co.jp/math/java/samples/rneji.html Same as above, but for a surface generated by the rotation of a line in space. Different, but instructive!
