Volume of paraboloid by Cavalieri's principle
I discovered this proof myself a little over 2 years ago, but only a few months ago I was able to find a YouTuber who was both able and willing to do me this huge favor of creating a based on my original proof sketch. Can a description of this proof be added to the page of Cavalieri's principle? יהודה שמחה ולדמן (talk) 23:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure this would come under the heading "Original research" which Wikipedia, in general, encourages you to find other places to publish. See No original research for the full policy. YouTube, while a useful source of information, is not considered a "reliable source" by Wikipedia simply because it does allow people to self-publish there. Wikipedia has these guidelines in place to preserve the integrity of its content; it's not making any judgements about whether the material is valid or significant, but it simply doesn't consider itself able to make such judgments. --RDBury (talk) 11:56, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
