Approximating the lateral surface area of a generalized cylinder with arc lengths of cross section curves
Given a generalized cylinder1 whose axis is defined by $r(s) = (x(s), y(s), z(s))$, we want to derive a lower bound of the lateral surface area between the cross sections of $r(a)$ and $r(b)$, where $...
