Applet shows how to find the volume of a solid by slicing.

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.

Same as above, but for a surface generated by the rotation of a line in space. Different, but instructive!
