3
Riemann Sums… Thus far, we have used rectangles and trapezoids to APPROXIMATE area between curves and the x-axis. It would be better if we could be more accurate in our approximations. Riemann Sum -- from Wolfram MathWorld
4
k th rectangle Rectangles extending from the x-axis to intersect the curve at the points (c k,f(c k )) Height of k th rectangle (c k,f(c k )) Width of k th rectangle= x k (c n,f(c n )) xkxk x k-1 ckck cncn x n-1 x n =b x 0 =a c1c1 c2c2 x1x1 x2x2 (c 1,f(c 1 )) (c 2,f(c 2 )) Notes Here: 1. Rectangles are used to approximate 2. The area of any specific rectangle will be: where is the height and is the width.

k th rectangle Rectangles extending form from the x-axis to intersect the curve at the points (c k,f(c k )) Height of k th rectangle (c k,f(c k )) Width of k th rectangle= x k (c n,f(c n )) xkxk x k-1 ckck cncn x n-1 x n =b x 0 =a c1c1 c2c2 x1x1 x2x2 (c 1,f(c 1 )) (c 2,f(c 2 )) Notes Here: 3. The product will be positive or negative based on the value of 4. The sum of these areas can be written as:

k th rectangle Rectangles extending form from the x-axis to intersect the curve at the points (c k,f(c k )) Height of k th rectangle (c k,f(c k )) Width of k th rectangle= x k (c n,f(c n )) xkxk x k-1 ckck cncn x n-1 x n =b x 0 =a c1c1 c2c2 x1x1 x2x2 (c 1,f(c 1 )) (c 2,f(c 2 )) Notes Here: 5. As we increase the number of rectangles the approximation becomes more accurate. This can be written using the notation that is on the next slide.
7
If we use an infinite number of partitions… Width of each partition Height of partitions Add up the areas of each partition The number of partitions is increasing to infinity
8
Integral Notation And since represents the EXACT amount We can state that
9
Two ways to view the limit Number of partitions goes to infinity Size of partitions goes to zero
10
Both equal the integral
11
Formal Definition : Let f be a function on a closed interval [a,b], let the numbers c k be chosen arbitrarily in the subintervals [x k-1, x k ]. If there exists a number I such that no matter how P and c k ’s are chosen, Then f is integrable on [a,b] and I is the definite integral of f over [a,b].
