Computing Volumes Surrounded by a Quadric Surface and a Plane with MATLAB

Article Preview

Abstract:

We describe how to compute volumes of solids surrounded by a quadric surface and a plane. First, we use coordinate transformations to change an equation of a quadric surface into a standard equation, then apply integration techniques to find formulae of computing volumes. A MATLAB procedure is programmed that can be used to evaluate volumes bounded by a quadric surface and a plane.
