Context
This SWBQ introduces the use of curvilinear coordinates.
Wrap Up
Discuss different ways of chopping up the interior of a circle, such as:
- Using vertical strips (the area between curves) and single integration;
- Using small rectangles and double integration;
- Using annuli (the area between circles) and single integration;
- Using polar rectangles and double integration.
