Volumes by Slicing (Calculus)

This calculus tutorial video explains finding volumes by slicing, also known as volume by cross section. We use illustrations and animations to show you how to use integration to find volumes by slicing, building the volume by integratiing the formula for the area of each cross section. We work examples that have the same base with square, triangle, and semicircle cross sections.
