Toroidal-Coordinate Integration Limits

In support of our accompanying discussion of the gravitational potential of a uniform-density circular torus, here we explain in detail what limits of integration must be specified in order to accurately determine the volume — and, hence also the total mass — of such a torus using toroidal coordinates.
