This script shows a 3-D plot of a curve revolved around a specified axis.

File Information
Description	This script prompts the user for two functions y1=f1(x) and y2=f2(x) and rotates the area between the two curves around a user-defined axis. Plotted is the region between the two curves and the 3-D solid generated by revolving the region around the axis. Caluclated are the volume and surface area of the resudlting solid, and the arc length of each curve.
Acknowledgements	This submission has inspired the following: Space Arc System Analysis with Flexibility Stiffness and Linear Static Method (update:05-08-07)
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a)
