, Chapter 1 — Riemann Sums and the Definite
Integral
Learning Objectives
1. Define the definite integral as a limit of Riemann sums.
2. Compute left, right, and midpoint Riemann sums.
3. Interpret the definite integral as net signed area.
4. Apply properties of the definite integral.
Key Definitions
Term Definition
Riemann Sum An approximation of the area under a curve using rectangles: Σ f(xᵢ) Δx.
Definite Integral ∫ab f(x) dx = limn→∞ Σ f(xᵢ) Δx.
Net Signed Area Area above the x-axis minus area below.
Partition A division of an interval into subintervals.
1.1 Riemann Sums
Δx = (b − a) / n
Left sum: Σ f(xᵢ₋₁) Δx
Right sum: Σ f(xᵢ) Δx
Midpoint sum: Σ f((xᵢ₋₁ + xᵢ)/2) Δx
1.2 Properties of Definite Integrals
∫ab c·f(x) dx = c ∫ab f(x) dx
∫ab [f(x) ± g(x)] dx = ∫ab f(x) dx ± ∫ab g(x) dx
∫aa f(x) dx = 0
∫ab f(x) dx = −∫ba f(x) dx
