To see a description of the routine click here. Animations used in this demo were generated with diskmethod.m by capturing the evolving pictures and then editing the video files into various formats. The routine was written by David R. Hill and Lila F. Roberts. A Mathematica notebook for illustrating the basic steps of the disk method is available in html by clicking here. The notebook can be downloaded from within the html version. The notebook was constructed by Lila F. Roberts. A nice computer project that combines reading, writing, volume application, and a bit of theory together with the use of Maple is called 'Calculus With Measuring Cups'.
