Integral Calculus

Integration takes a new name "continuous aggregate". That is, a quantity, given as a function, is aggregated continuously over an interval.The details explained are ingenious and provided nowhere else.

Learn in this:

 •  First Principles of Integration : Continuous aggregate

 •  Graphical Meaning of Integration : Area under a curve

 •  Definition of definite and indefinite integrals

 •  Fundamental theorem of Calculus : Integration as anti-derivatives

Apart from these, the algebra of integrals and various results of integration of standard functions are explained.

Integral Calculus: Understanding Application Scenarios

In this page, the application scenario of integrals is explained with examples. We consider pair of related quantities. One quantity is the cause and the other is the effect. These are related by a function involving continuous aggregate.

Integration: First Principles

In this page, integration is defined in first principles.

Integration or integral of a function

    In an interval from 0 to x, the continuous aggregate of function f(x) is the integral of the function.

f(x)dx

=c+0xf(x)dx

=c+limni=1nf(ixn)xn

Defining integral in different forms

In this page, indefinite integral and definite integrals are explained. In definite integrals, various forms of limit of summation are introduced.  »  Indefinite Integral
    →  f(x)dx
    →  a function of a variable
    →  anti-derivative

 »  Definite Integral
    →  abf(x)dx
    →  a numerical value
    →  area under the curve between x=a and x=b

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

In this page, the fundamental theorem of calculus is stated and proven. Anti-derivatives are introduced as the function that when differentiated, gives the integrand.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus :

For functions f(x),h(x),g(x) as in
h(x)=ddxf(x)
f(x)=axg(x)dx

    →  First part states that h(x)=g(x); that is ddxaxg(x)dx=g(x)
derivative of integral of a function is the function

    →  First part implies that to find f(x)=axg(x)dx, find the inverse relationship ddxf(x)=g(x) and thus, anti-derivative is defined.
integral of a function is anti-derivative of the function

    →  Second part states that abh(x)dx=f(b)-f(a)
That is abddxf(x)dx=f(b)-f(a).
definite integral of derivative of a function is the difference of function evaluated at the limits

    →  Since the second part is true for any value x in the interval [a,b], it implies that axddxf(x)dx=f(x)+c.
indefinite integral of derivative of a function is the function plus an initial value

Understanding Algebra of Integration

In this page, what is algebra of integrals and conditions under which it is applicable are discussed. The integrals of functions that are given as arithmetic operation of multiple functions is discussed. The arithmetic operations are multiplication by a constant, addition, and subtraction. The properties of definite integrals, specifically based on the limits of integration, are explained.
