Hi Mathematica users & experts, There is a package in Mathematica which allows us to generate surfaces of revolution. It is in the context Graphics`SurfaceOfRevolution`. It is stated that a surface of revolution can be generated about any axis by setting the option RevolutionAxis. However, it is not exactly to me how to do this. For example, I would like to generate a surface of revolution of the curve y = x^2 from x = 2 to x = 3 about the axis x = 1. Anybody out there who can give me some pointers on how to go about it? Thanks Chee
