Is "circular pyramid" intuitive, or is it calculus based? It works for me.
- codeflo 3y agoIs Cavalieri's principle (two volumes are equal if every cross section has equal area) considered calculus or not?
- filmor 3y agoI'd say that this is an application of Fubini's theorem which is very clearly calculus (or analysis, not sure where the distinction is drawn in English).
- consilient 3y agocalculus = introductory real analysis aimed at engineering and science students. Same material, different emphasis.
- dmurray 3y agoI would say "circular pyramid" is intuitive, but "an n-sided pyramid works just the same as a square pyramid" is not. If instead of just a square pyramid, you demonstrated it for regular polygons with sides 3, 4, 5 - I wouldn't need any convincing that the relationship continued to infinity.
- pharrington 3y agoIt's both.
