SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of integration by foliation, particularly in relation to volumes by slicing and volumes of revolution. The user seeks resources to deepen their understanding of these advanced calculus concepts. Key references include "Volumes of Solids of Revolution: A Unified Approach," which cites works by Walter Carlip and Eric Key that explore related topics. While the discussion touches on differential geometry and foliations, the primary focus remains on practical resources for mastering integration techniques.

PREREQUISITES
  • Advanced Calculus concepts, specifically volumes of solids of revolution
  • Understanding of integration techniques, including slicing and cross-sectional areas
  • Familiarity with differential geometry and its applications
  • Knowledge of mathematical articles and resources for further study
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Volumes of Solids of Revolution: A Unified Approach" for comprehensive techniques
  • Explore Walter Carlip's article "Disks and Shells Revisited" for advanced integration methods
  • Study Eric Key's "Disk Shells and Inverse Functions" for additional insights into integration
  • Investigate the role of foliations in differential geometry for a broader understanding
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of advanced calculus and integration techniques, particularly in the context of volumes and surfaces.

I posted a question on stack about generalizing the methods of volumes by slicing & volumes of revolutions & came across the notion of integration by foliation. I'm wondering if there are any resources you guys know of where I could delve into this further, I'd love to think in a sophisticated & unified manner about ideas like surface area of revolution, volumes by cross-sectional areas, volumes of revolution, etc... but don't know what to do or where to go, & I'm sure there's something out there on these topics, thanks :approve:

You may take a look at Volumes of Solids of Revolution. A Unified Approach which cites the article by Walter Carlip, Disks and Shells Revisited and Eric Key, Disk Shells and inverse functions, both collected in A calculus collection

There is an area of differential geometry that has the concept of foliations, but these are not exactly the same type of foliations mentioned in the stackexchange answer.
 
Thanks a lot for the links, although they don't target the foliation aspect of my question they are great in and of themselves.
