用测量法求平面封闭区域之面积及空间封闭区域之体积

怎样用测量的方法来分别求由无解析表达式或由积分法很难求面积或体积的已知表达式的平面封闭曲线或空间封闭曲面所围的面积或体积?本文分别给出了简单易行的求面积的“改进了的方格法”及求体积的“立方体分割法”,并且证明了对于满足一定条件的平面封闭曲线或空间封闭曲面,当测量所用单位(平面小正方形的边长或空间小立方体的边长)充分小时,所测得的面积或体积与实际的面积或体积之差的绝对值是所用单位的二阶无穷小.并且,当曲线或曲面的某些性质已知或至少可以估计出其范围的情况下,本文给出了为使测量结果达到任意精度,应当使用多大的测量单位.     

USING MEASURING METHOD TO FIND AREA OF ENCLOSED PLANE REGION AND VOLUME OF ENCLOSED SPACE REGION

Two simple methods to calculate the area and volume called improved square gridmethod and cube cutting method are proposed in this paper. For any plane curve orspace surface satisfying certain conditions, by our method, the error of measurement isof the second infinitive order of measuring unit (the side length of the square grid or theside length of the little cube) when the unit is small enough. And when some properties ofthe curve or the surface can be found or its varying bounds can be evaluated, it is pointedout, in order to make the error smaller than any given value, how small the length of themeasuring unit should be.
