Resource type Finding areas by integration
This unit looks at how to calculate the area bounded by a curve using integration.
Resource type Volumes of solids of revolution
We sometimes need to calculate the volume of a solid which can be obtained by rotating a curve about the x-axis. There is a straightforward technique which enables this to be done, using integration. This unit will explain how.

Resource type Finding areas by integration
Integration can be used to calculate areas. In simple cases, the area is given by a single definite integral. But sometimes the integral gives a negative answer which is minus the area, and in more complicated cases the correct answer can be obtained only by splitting the area into several parts and adding or subtracting the appropriate integrals.
