What good is calculus if nobody practically uses it.
My pool has an uneven bottom (shallow and deep and varying greatly). All pool-volume calculators I can find assume a gently sloping bottom (and therefore use geometric simplifications). I want to try a calculus based pool volume calculator (that takes the actual shape of the bottom curve into consideration). To obtain an accurate pool water volume, I just measured in two dozen places every few feet the varying depth of an irregularly shaped pool. I realize, with those numbers, I can draw a side view and then break it into squares to calculate the volume but there must be a calculus volume calculator out there that will take the shape of the bottom curves. But since this is a common need of every pool owner of an irregularly shaped pool, I wonder if there is a good freeware calculus (not geometry) pool volume calculator out there that you recommend. Googling, I found these two Windows freeware volume applications: * AD Geometrical calculator http://www.filetransit.com/view.php?id=4749 * Volume Calculator http://www.freewarefiles.com/Volume-...ram_43621.html And, of course, there are the generic geometric pool-volume calculators (which all suffer from geometry assumptions): * http://www.pentairpool.com/pool-owne...c/poolcalc.htm * http://www.poolspa.com/calculator/ * http://www.poolwizard.net/pool-volume/ * http://www.backyardcitypools.com/swi...-Calculate.htm * http://www.poolandspachemicals.co.uk/volcalc.htm * http://www.havuz.org/pool-calculators.htm * http://www.poolfactoryonline.com/tut...ume-calculator * http://poolways.com/volume.html What good is calculus if nobody uses it? Do know of any volume calculators that will take the shape of the pool bottom (measured in two-foot increments) into consideration accurately without geometric simplification? |
