Review text

The author describes two methods of finding hypersurfaces of revolution in \(\mathbb{R}^4\). Formulas for three-dimensional areas of the hypersurfaces of revolution and the four-dimensional volumes of the corresponding solids of revolution are given. The formulas are generalizations of the formulas for surface and volume in three dimensions. The formulas allow to find volumes and lateral surface areas of hyperspheres, hypercylinders and hypercones as well as some figures that do not come directly from geometry.
