Key Concepts

Riemann Sum

A Riemann sum is a method for approximating the area under a curve by breaking the region into smaller subintervals, calculating the function value at specific points (such as left endpoints), multiplying by the width of the subintervals, and summing the resulting areas. This technique forms the foundation of integral approximation and the formal definition of the definite integral.

Left-Endpoint Approximation

The left-endpoint approximation is a type of Riemann sum where the function's value at the left endpoint of each subinterval is used as the height of the approximating rectangle. This method provides a specific way to compute the Riemann sum and can lead to different accuracies depending on the function's behavior over the interval.

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the exact area under a curve between two specified limits and is defined as the limit of Riemann sums as the number of subdivisions approaches infinity. It formalizes the concept of accumulation and is fundamentally linked to the process of integration in calculus.
