Welcome to the Calc II Volumes Calculations Help Site

The following is a basic outline of this site, in which we (1) start with a volume calculation problem, (2) step through the calculations required to solve it, (3) extend the calculation to include calculations of mass and work, and (4) look at the entire calculation on video. The content of the video is summarized on the static pages, and because it's something of a trial run the sound isn't the best, but it does include somewhat more information than do the pages. Enjoy!

The content of this site was developed by Sarah Barnes, Thor Esbensen, Steve Harder, and Nicole Serinaldi. Questions or comments may be directed to Gavin LaRose (glarose@umich.edu)
