Key Concepts

Riemann Sum

A Riemann sum is a method for approximating the total area under a curve by dividing the region into small subintervals and summing up the areas of rectangles whose heights are determined by the function's value at selected sample points. As the number of subintervals increases and their width decreases, the Riemann sum converges to the exact area under the curve.

Limit Process

The limit process involves taking the limit of the Riemann sum as the number of subintervals approaches infinity. This transition from a finite sum of approximations to an exact value is the foundation of integral calculus, ensuring that the sum of the areas of infinitely many infinitely thin rectangles equals the true area under a curve.

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the exact area under a curve between two specified boundaries. It is defined as the limit of a Riemann sum and provides a systematic tool to compute areas, even when the function varies in a non-linear manner, by accumulating continuously small contributions across an interval.

Area Under a Curve

Calculating the area under a curve involves integrating a function over a given interval. This concept links the algebraic process of integration with the geometric notion of area, allowing one to measure the total space bounded by the curve and a reference axis, such as the x-axis, within specified limits.
