  2. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_integration

    Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius ...

  3. Shell integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_integration

    Shell integration (the shell method in integral calculus) is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution, when integrating along an axis perpendicular to the axis of revolution. This is in contrast to disc integration which integrates along the axis parallel to the axis of revolution.

    SageMath is designed partially as a free alternative to the general-purpose mathematics products Maple and MATLAB. It can be downloaded or used through a web site. SageMath comprises a variety of other free packages, with a common interface and language. SageMath is developed in Python.

  5. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.

  7. Constant of integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_of_integration

    In calculus, the constant of integration, often denoted by (or ), is a constant term added to an antiderivative of a function () to indicate that the indefinite integral of () (i.e., the set of all antiderivatives of ()), on a connected domain, is only defined up to an additive constant.

  8. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    A complex-analysis version of this method [4] is to consider ! as a Taylor coefficient of the exponential function = =!, computed by Cauchy's integral formula as ! = | | = +. This line integral can then be approximated using the saddle-point method with an appropriate choice of contour radius r = r n {\displaystyle r=r_{n}} .

  9. Surface integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_integral

    The obvious solution is then to split that surface into several pieces, calculate the surface integral on each piece, and then add them all up. This is indeed how things work, but when integrating vector fields, one needs to again be careful how to choose the normal-pointing vector for each piece of the surface, so that when the pieces are put ...
