    Definite integrals represent the exact area under a given curve, and Riemann sums are used to approximate those areas. However, if we take Riemann sums with infinite rectangles of infinitely small width (using limits), we get the exact area, i.e. the definite integral! Created by Sal Khan.

    Was confused about the difference between Riemann sum calculations and integral calculations for a bit, this vid cleared it right up. When we do Riemann sum problems, we use a small, finite amount of rectangles represented by n, calculate their areas, then add their areas together to find an approximated area under the curve, we know that the true area is somewhere between the area of the left endpoint and the area of the right endpoint. Whereas with an integral, we essentially eliminate the error completely by using Riemann sum to calculate the area under the curve as n (number of rectangles) goes to infinity, leading to a more accurate result.

    The word 'lim' here means that you cannot tell the difference between real area and the integral. The difference between real area and definite integral might be 0 and might be > 0. But in the second case you still cannot give the number that is less than the definite integral. So, it is not just 'a good approximation'. It is the best.

    • @dnuma5852

      its not the best approximation either because its not an approximatiob

    when can we just eliminate the sigma sign when taking the derivative of an infinite sum. I mean, for example we have the sum from 1 to infinity of 1/n; and that is equal to the integral from 1 to infinity of 1/n (which is lnn) plus the Euler-Mascheroni constant. In that case I guess we can take its derivative by simply eliminating the sigma, so it will be the limit when n tends to infinity of 1/n. When can someone do that same thing with other infinite sums?

    you have to take the limit as x approaches infinite of the sum to get rid of the spaces between the rectangles

    A definite integral is the real value of the area of a positive function or just a good approximation?

  • @Dan-gc3ke

    why is delta x = (b-a)/n?. I get how b-a is delta x, why is it being divided by n?

    • @Gwyn94
      @Gwyn94 5 лет назад +2

      n is the number of rectangles. b-a gives you the overall delta x of the function over the interval [a,b], and dividing that by n number of rectangles gives you the delta x (or width) of each individual rectangle

    No it’s not, Bernhard Riemann didn’t define integral for continuous function, but for bounded function, which can not be done using limit. He used infimum and supermum to define the integral.

    That's true, I guess. But you still can't always use a definite integral. There are functions without antiderivatives.

      I know this probably doesnt matter to you anymore but, for others. The Riemann sum is just the sum of all the parts, it does not have to mean total area. Why? Because if the graph has negative area, the Riemann sum would not give you an accurate number. Can the Riemann sum mean area? yes, but only if the function is positive all the way through, if it is not, then you have to calculate each individual part and add their absolute values to get area.

  • @HenggaoCai

    Rieman Sum is only an estimate of the area. For a more accurate value, you should always use a definite integral

    By the way, if you integrate sine from -pi/2 to pi/2, you get 0. You can make some interesting conclusions out of this.

    Except you can't always use a definite integral, especially if the function is discontinuous somewhere on the interval.
