Multi-dimensional geometry

Volume of an n-ball

In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n-ball is a ball in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. The volume of a n-ball is the Lebesgue measure of this ball, which generalizes to any dimension the usual volume of a ball in 3-dimensional space. The volume of a n-ball of radius R is where is the volume of the unit n-ball, the n-ball of radius 1. The real number can be expressed via a two-dimension recurrence relation.Closed-form expressions involve the gamma, factorial, or double factorial function. The volume can also be expressed in terms of , the area of the unit n-sphere. (Wikipedia).

Volume of a ball in n dimensions

In this video I explicitly calculate the volume of a ball of radius r in R^n. The method I’m presenting uses only multivariable calculus and the disk method from single-variable calculus, but we’ll also visit some other goodies like the Beta function and the Gamma function. Enjoy!

Surface area of sphere in n dimensions

In this sequel to the video "Volume of a ball in n dimensions", I calculate the surface area of a sphere in R^n, using a clever trick with the Gaussian function exp(-1/2 |x|^2). Along the way, we discover the coarea formula, which is the analog of polar coordinates, but in n dimensions. Fi

Derivative of volume is surface area

In this neat video, I use the Divergence Theorem to show that, in any dimension, the derivative of the volume of a ball of radius r gives you the surface area of the sphere of radius r. So, for instance, it shouldn’t be surprising that (4/3 pi r^3)’ = 4pi r^2. The neat thing is that, at no
