Study Notes
Calculus Operations
- The continuous analog of a sum used to calculate areas and volumes is called an integral.
Integration
- Integration is one of the two fundamental operations of calculus, alongside differentiation.
- Definite integrals represent the area in the plane bounded by the graph of a given function between two points.
- Areas above the horizontal axis of the plane conventionally represent positive areas in integrals.
- Integrals also refer to indefinite integrals, which are antiderivatives of a function.
Antiderivatives and Applications
- A function whose derivative is the given function is known as an antiderivative.
- Integration is used in various fields today, such as physics, engineering, economics, and more.
