ahh yep yep, i was heading in that direction but wasn't too sure :P thanks again tiny-tim! :smile:

sorry i just realized i don't understand what you meant by changing the variable y to θ - i don't have any variables except x, y, r, and possibly z.. sorry to be so annoying =/

Sorry about that :P i see the stupidity now.. hehe thanks heaps for that though - big help! :) i hope i can do it properly, its been making me crazy! Thanks again :smile:

i think i have that part now, but there's some other stuff that follows on from that which is really confusing me, even though it should be fairly straight forward. i THINK i have S(y), and it then says that the integral S(y) over all y is equal to the volume of the bell, given by the integral...

yeah I am pretty sure, that's how i did that part anyway. if you've found C(r) it should be fairly easy to integrate.

hey I've been watching this thread for a while, and I am pretty sure i have exactly the same assignment.. anyway the one i have is broken up into 6 sections, the 4th of which is really bugging me. It says "express the area of intersection of the bell (the rotated integral) with the plane...
