Cutting Against the Grain: Volumes of Solids of Revolution via Cross-Sections Parallel to the Rotation Axis

Rather than slicing solids of revolution perpendicular to the axis of rotation, we consider what happens when we cut the surface with planes parallel to the axis. Using this approach to explore the solid known as Gabriel's horn, which has finite volume and infinite surface area, yields insights...
