watch the flash video of this "math geek". hehe YEAH RIGHT!
Here are some podcast links.

EDIT: I found this one to be highly entertaining if you are into this sort of thing. Although, it's better if you see it on tv for the visuals.

I think this is the video...

Maybe....just maybe.....I'm jaded and being stereotypical, but it's a wild hunch on my part that maybe she's not a mathematician. Maybe she's....oh, I don't know.....a MODEL??

Knowing the ratio between the circumference and radias of any circle isn't that geeky. You need to look in the "Posers and Puzzles" or "Science" forums. 🙂
Anyway, she got it wrong, the answer is f(x) = 6.28x. 😛

Nordlys?

Int 0->r 2 pi r dr = [(2/2) pi (r^2)] - (2/2) pi (0^2)] = pi r^2
If you want the volume of a sphere. Using rotation:
Int pi r^2 dr = (2/3) pi r^3
🙂
EDIT: Oops, got the last bit wrong, it is (4/3) pi r^3. 🙁
EDIT 2: Not satisfied with my dodgy calculation above for the volume of a sphere. The volume will be an integral of the surface area of a sphere from 0 to r. Surface area being 4 pi r^2:
Int 0->r 4 pi r^2 dr = [(4/3) pi (r^3)] - (4/3) pi (0^3)] = (4/3) pi r^3
