Abstract:
This paper describes a few calculus methods to automatically compute areas and
volumes of vases similar to those from the Cucuteni culture. The paper starts by describing the
empirical methods, followed by the direct measurement methods - more or less precise, and
supported by design methods using programs implemented in Java programming language. In
addition, the paper shows a different method to generate and draw any geometrical 3D figure
of arbitrary dimensions using the Maple software package.
