Software for Calculating Volumes of Revolution on Linux, Mac, Windows

AI Thread Summary
Software options for calculating volumes of revolutions across various operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP, are discussed. Matlab is recommended for its robust capabilities, particularly for tasks like calculating the volume of functions rotated around axes. For those seeking free alternatives, Maxima, Scilab, and Yacas are suggested as they offer similar functionalities to Matlab and can effectively handle volume calculations.

I need software that can calculate volumes of revolutions, the only requirement is that it runs on any of the following:
* Linux (i386)
* Mac OS X
* Windows XP (i386)

Like calculate the volume when tan x is rotated around the y-axis with upper boundaries 0.2 and lower boundraries 0.1.

If you have access to Matlab then that's what I would choose

If your looking for some free software then check these out:

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/
http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/
http://yacas.sourceforge.net/

They should pretty much work similar to matlab.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
