Volume & Surface Area History & Background Explanation of Mathematics Significance & Application Video Presentation & Technology

Introduction


A boxing match or a tea party? These are two events that stand at opposite ends of a ring with completely different purposes. Does Surface Area land haymakers on Volume or do they sit at a palace table sipping a cup of tea together? We will take a closer look into the ideas and concepts of Surface Area and Volume and see how they complement each other and where they stand apart as unique concepts made of unique characteristics. The website designed will help to clarify their unique characteristics and differences as we explore the reach and capability of both Surface Area and Volume. It will especially emphasize their history, what minds stood behind these ideas, mathematical explanations, and a few examples of how they can be used and applied in real life.

The unique, but most interesting aspect of Surface Area and Volume is the challenge to understand their profound range of content. This range spans from simple formulas to complex integration and computation based on the three-dimensional shapes and their unique characteristics. They are also very much entangled in everyday activities, activities and events that involve both the young and the old, the wise and the not as wise. Whether they are aware or not, Surface Area and Volume affect even the simplest of decisions that we make. This is what makes this website, paper, and topic so intriguing. No matter what your knowledge or ability may be, there are ways in which you can come to successfully understand Surface Area and Volume. Inside this topic, there is also no limit to how far you can explore and conjecture as well. As we explore their history, basic content, relationships, significance, and application, we will together come to better understand the characteristics and properties of Surface Area and Volume.
