Discovering a Geometric Volume Relationship in Calculus.
Morriss, Patrick
Mathematics Teacher, v91 n4 p334-36 Apr 1998
Outlines the discovery of an advanced calculus class based on the generalization of the relationship between the volume of a right circular cone and the volume of a right cylinder with same height and base radius while studying solids of revolution. Relates the course of discovery and concludes with plans to use it to try to generate the same enthusiasm for mathematics in future classes. (ASK)
