I have studied the Mathematica manuals and I have been unable to find how to graphically illustrate "slicing" to find volumes of solids generated by rotating about a line. I am interested in helping my calculus students visualize disk slicing and cylindrical shell slicing. If anyone knows a URL or other reference I can use, please let me know. Thank you!
