I don't, nor did I say this. Currently most of the work we do is with simple graphs (x^2, x^3, lnx, e^x, 1/x, x^(1/2), x, stretched, shrunk, or shifted accordingly) so that we may focus on calculus. I'm interested in the process of deriving a formula for much more complex graphs. I've been...

And what is the process called? Say you have a bunch of data you've collected plotted on a graph, what level of math teaches you to convert this data into a formula that you can play with? I'm in calc 2 right now and we just covered volumes. It's AWESOME! I'm not much of a higher level...

bump? When I asked this, I had already turned in the lab with this question unanswered. The ta announced on his website that, since it's easier for him to grade correct answers, he wants to help us. He was absolutely no help. He told me that since I had the angle, I could answer the question...

I also thought of going about it in a similar fashion to how we did the force table excercise by making a circle and having all the vector components sum to zero? (is that correct on how it should work? But I'm lose at getting the rest of the info i need.
