Interactive Solid of Revolution Visualizer
Rotate Curves Around the X or Y Axis

Understanding solids of revolution is much easier when you can see them come to life. This interactive tool lets you visualize how a 2D curve turns into a 3D object when it is rotated around an axis. Simply enter your function, select the rotation axis (x or y), and set the starting and ending x-values. The app will plot the original curve and show the resulting solid of revolution in real time. This powerful visual approach helps students grasp key calculus concepts like volume calculation, rotational symmetry, and the application of integrals - all in an intuitive and engaging way.

Try: sin(x), x, x^2-2, etc.
Bounds can be negative for functions like sin(x)
