This study guide covers the washer method for finding the volume of solids of revolution, specifically focusing on revolving around axes other than the x or y-axis. It reviews the general formula for the washer method and demonstrates its application with practice problems, including an example from an AP Calculus AB exam. Key concepts include identifying the axis of revolution, determining the bounds of integration, and setting up the integral using the washer method formula.
