Volume of Solids of Revolution

The video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a solid of revolution by rotating a graph of y = x^2 around the y-axis, instead of the x-axis. It covers visualizing the resulting shape, calculating the volume using discs with depth in dy, and applying a definite integral to sum the volumes of these discs between y = 1 and y = 4. The process involves expressing x as a function of y and using the formula for the area of a circle to find the volume of each disc, ultimately leading to the final volume calculation.
