Key Concepts

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the exact accumulation of quantities, such as areas under a curve, over a specified interval. It is defined as the limit of Riemann sums when the partition of the interval becomes infinitely fine. The definite integral provides a precise method for calculating the total area, net change, or accumulation in continuous settings.

Left Endpoint Method

The left endpoint method is a specific approach to constructing a Riemann sum in which the function value used to determine the height of each rectangle is taken at the left endpoint of each subinterval. This method is particularly useful in approximating the area under a curve when the function values are known at discrete points, and it serves as one of the several techniques (including right endpoint and midpoint methods) to approximate integrals.

Riemann Sum

A Riemann sum is a method for approximating the total area under a curve by dividing the region into simple shapes, usually rectangles, whose areas can be easily calculated and then summed. It is a fundamental concept in calculus that leads to the definition of the definite integral as the limit of such sums as the number of rectangles increases and their width approaches zero.
