Real Life Calculus Min-Max Applications

Minmax  This lesson helps the student better visualize, in three dimensions, what the calculus based maxiumum/minimum equations show in mathematical terms.  Once the student has created the solid object in SolidWorks, he/she can manipulate it (rotate in 3D space) and see how the equations create an optimim object size.  Contributed by Sandra A. Bruesch.
