Abstract
In Chap. 8 I showed how to compute the area under a graph using integration, and in this chapter I describe how single and double integration is used to compute surface areas and regions bounded by functions. Also in this chapter, we come across Jacobians, which are used to convert an integral from one coordinate system to another. To start, let’s examine surfaces of revolution.
