  1. calculus - Why is the area under a curve the integral? - Mathematics ...

    Dec 23, 2010 · One is the question of why the definite Riemann integral gives the correct notion of "area under a curve" for a (nonnegative, Riemann integrable) function. The other, which seems to be what …

  2. Differentiating Definite Integral - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    For an integral of the form $$\tag {1}\int_a^ {g (x)} f (t)\,dt,$$ you would find the derivative using the chain rule. As stated above, the basic differentiation rule for integrals is:

  3. Difference Between Riemann Integrals and Definite Integrals

    Jul 2, 2023 · The Riemann integral follows various "intuitive" notions of area, for example if you split an interval up then the integral over the whole interval is equal to the sum of its parts, if you add two …

  4. Why does an integral change signs when flipping the boundaries?

    Jun 8, 2015 · The integral we generally teach in a first calculus course actually depends on a parameterization of the interval we are integrating over, and perhaps most naturally generalizes to …

  5. Integration by substitution, why do we change the limits?

    Jul 16, 2014 · I've highlighted the part I don't understand in red. Why do we change the limits of integration here? What difference does it make? Source of Quotation: Calculus: Early …

  6. Definite Integral and Constant of Integration

    Jun 10, 2012 · A definite integral is nothing different from an indefinite integral but the constant, that was eliminated during the differentiation, has some definite value. For instance in indefinite integrals we …

  7. Why do we not include $c$ in the computation of the definite integral?

    Apr 2, 2016 · The definite integral is different in the sense that it evaluates either to a number (in the single variable case) or a function independent of the variable of integration (in the multivariable case).

  8. calculus - Is there really no way to integrate $e^ {-x^2 ...

    Just bear in mind that this is simpler than obtaining a definite integral of the Gaussian over some interval (a,b), and we still cannot obtain an antiderivative for the Gaussian expressible in terms of elementary …

  9. What does infinity as an upper/lower limit mean in a definite integral ...

    Dec 4, 2020 · 2 I was finding $$\int_0^\infty e^ {-x} dx$$ So the integral becomes $$\left. (-e)^ {-x}\right\rvert_0^\infty$$ Now here's the confusing thing for me. What exactly does infinity mean in …
