Volume 2 : 3 ratio of the volumes of the sphere and cylinder is credited to Archimedes. The volume of a sphere is the integral of an infinite number of infinitesimally small circular disks of thickness "dx". The calculation for the volume of a sphere with center 0 and radius "r" is as follows. The surface area of the circular disk is formula_10. The radius of the circular disks, defined such that the x-axis cuts perpendicularly through them, is or where y or z can be taken to represent the radius of a disk at a particular x value. Using y
The Autobiography of Malcolm X Haley's influence, and it also differs from what may have actually been said in the interviews between Haley and Malcolm X. In "Making Malcolm: The Myth and Meaning of Malcolm X", Dyson criticizes historians and biographers of the time for re-purposing the "Autobiography" as a transcendent narrative by a "mythological" Malcolm X without being critical enough of the underlying ideas. Further, because much of the available biographical studies of Malcolm X have been written by white authors, Dyson suggests their ability to "interpret black experience" is suspect. "The Autobiography of Malcolm X", Dyson says, reflects both Malcolm X's goal of
