Study Notes
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
- The fundamental theorem of calculus establishes a connection between differentiation and integration, stating that differentiation and integration are inverse processes.
- It consists of two main parts: the first part deals with the derivative of an antiderivative, and the second part deals with the evaluation of definite integrals.
Riemann Sums
- Riemann sums are used to approximate the area under a curve or the accumulation of a quantity.
- They are based on dividing the area into small rectangles and summing the areas of these rectangles to approximate the total area.
- Riemann sums provide a theoretical foundation for the definite integral.
Definite Integrals
- The definite integral of a function represents the total amount of change of the function over a given interval.
- It can be interpreted as the area between the curve of the function and the x-axis over the interval.
- The definite integral can be used to calculate accumulated quantities, such as area, volume, and work, among others.
