Riemann Sums & Integration
Learning Objectives
- Approximate area under curves
- Understand definite integrals
- Apply FTC
Key Concepts
Riemann Sum
Sum of rectangle areas approximating integral
Definite Integral
Limit of Riemann sums as n → ∞
Theory
**Riemann Sums:** ∑f(xᵢ)Δx
**Types:**
- Left: Use left endpoints
- Right: Use right endpoints
- Midpoint: Use midpoints
- Trapezoidal: Average of left and right
**Fundamental Theorem:** ∫[a,b] f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a)
Examples
∫[0,2] x² dx
Solution: [x³/3]₀² = 8/3 - 0 = 8/3
