#1 describe the solid obtained by
\pi \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos ^2xdx
i thought this meant that the area function is
pi \cos ^2xdx and since \cos ^2xdx = 1^2 - \sinx ^2xdx
it's the solid obtained by rotating region between y = sinx and y = 0 for 0 <= x <= pi / 2.
but this was wrong.
how?
#2 compute the volume of a torus which has inner radius R and outer radius R + r.
no idea.
