    Question on limits used in triple integral for volume of a sphere

    Homework Statement I am to derive the volume of a sphere using spherical coordinates. I have derived the (correct) jacobian as r^2sin(theta) dr d(theta) d(phi) so its simply a matter of integrating over the correct limits. Homework Equations What I don't get is why we use 2pi to 0 for...
