Introduction
In Chapter 2 we learnt about differentiation. Given a total quantity,

differentiation allows us to find its rate of change by taking its
derivative.
In this chapter, we study the reverse process: given a rate of change,
integration allows us to find a total quantity.
Do we have any connection between differentiation and integration?
Integral and differential calculus are connected by The Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus which connects them.
Integration has various of applications such as measuring area,
volume,...It thus is related to measure the area under the curve.

1. Areas under Curves
Assume that a car was moving with constant velocity v (m/s) during
the time t1 and t2 . Then the distance that this car traveled on [t1 , t2 ]
is S = v × (t2 − t1 ).
This quantity equals to the area bounded by the horizontal line y = v
and the two vertical lines x = t1 , x = t2 .
When the velocity of the car is not constant; that is, v varies in time
v = v (t). What is the distance traveled by this car?

The previous example is related to a fundamental problem of calculus:
given a nonnegative continuous function y = f (x), find the area S of the
region R lying under the graph of f , above the x-axis and between the
vertical lines x = a and x = b, where a < b.

The idea behind the computing this area is that we can effectively
compute such quantities by breaking it into small pieces and then
summing the contributions from each piece.
We divide [a, b] into N closed subinterval so that
a = x0 < x1 < x2 < ... < xn−1 < xN = b
and
∆xi → 0 as N → ∞
[For example, ∆xi = (b − a)/N, for all i = 1, .., N]
The set P = {x0 , x1 , ..., xN−1 , xN } is called a partition of [a, b].

In each subinterval [xi−1 , xi ], we select an arbitrary point ci ,
i = 1, .., n. The area of a i th rectangle with height f (ci ) and width
∆xi is f (ci ) ∆xi .
We approximate the area S by summing the areas of all the
N
P
rectangles: SP = f (ci ) ∆xi . This sum is called Riemann sum. As
i=1
N → ∞, the area of the rectangles becomes closer to S.

Definition
The area S of the region under a nonnegative, continuous function f is the
limit of the sum of the areas of approximating rectangles:
N
X
S = lim SP = lim f (ci ) ∆xi
N→∞ n→∞
i=1
Note: It can be shown that if f is continuous, this limit always exists.

2. The Definite Integral
Definition
The definite integral of a nonnegative, continuous function f over [a, b] is
the limit of Riemann sums (that is, the limit of the sum of the areas of
approximating rectangles) and is denoted by the integral sign:
Zb N
X
f (x)dx = lim SP = lim f (ci ) ∆xi
N→∞ N→∞
a i=1

Example
R1
Set up an expression for xdx as a limit of sums and evaluate the limit.
0
Solution:
Choose ci = xi = i/N, ∆xi = 1/N, i = 1, .., N (ci are right endpoints).
Z1 N N
X i 1 X i 1
xdx = lim f = lim
N→∞ N N N→∞ N N
0 i=1 i=1
Thus,
Z1 N
1 X N (N + 1) 1
xdx = lim 2
i = lim 2
=
N→∞ N N→∞ 2N 2
0 i=1

Now we generalize further, removing the restrictions that f must be
nonnegative. Assume that f is continuous on the closed, finite interval
[a; b]. If f (x) is nonnegative, then the definite integral is not equal to an
area in the usual sense, but we may interpret it as the "signed area"
between the graph and the x-axis.
Signed area (net area) is defined as the difference of the area above x-axis
and the area below x-axis.
Zb
f (x)dx = net area

Theorem
If f is continuous on [a, b] then f is integrable on [a, b].

second integral is zero due to the the fact that x 3 is an odd function.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Calculating integrals by taking the limit of Riemann sums is often long and
difficult. There is a more effective way to calculate integrals. This effective
way is based on the relationship between integration and differentiation
which is called The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Practical Application: Newton’s Law of Cooling
Newton’s Law of Cooling: Let T (t) be the temperature of the object at
time t and Ts be the temperature of the surroundings (Ts < (T (t)), then
dT
= −k (T − Ts )
dt
where k is a positive constant.
That is, the rate of cooling of an object is proportional to the temperature
difference between the object and its surroundings.
Find T (t)? Integrating the (differential) equation,
Z Z
dT
= k dt ⇒ ln (T − Ts ) = −kt + ln (T (0) − Ts )
T − Ts
This implies
T (t) = Ts + (T (0) − Ts ) e −kt

Practical Application: Newton’s Law of Cooling
Example: Newton’s Law of Cooling
A detective found a corpse in a motel room at midnight and its
temperature was 80o F. The temperature of the room is kept constant at
60o F. Two hours later the temperature of the corpse dropped to 75o F.
Find the time of death. Note that the temperature of a normal person is
98.6o F (37o C)
Solution
Let T (t) be the temperature of the corpse at time t. We have
T (t) = Ts + (T (0) − Ts ) e −kt . Thus, at t = 2:

−2k 1 75 − 60
T (2) = 60 + (80 − 60) e = 75 ⇒ k = − ln = 0.1438
2 80 − 60
−ktd = 98.6.
At time of death: T (td) = 60 + (80 − 60) e
Therefore, td = − k1 ln 98.6−60
80−60 = −4.57 hours.

How to evaluate the following integral

√
The antiderivatives of some functions, like sin(x 2 ), 1/ln(x), and 1 + x 4 ,
have no elementary formulas. When we cannot find a workable
antiderivative for a function f that we have to integrate, we can partition
the interval of integration, replace f by a closely fitting polynomial on
each subinterval, integrate the polynomials, and add the results to
approximate the integral of f .
This procedure is an example of numerical integration.

Improper Integrals
Up to now, we have required definite integrals to have two properties.

First, that the domain of integration [a, b] be finite. Second, that the
range of the integrand be finite on this domain.
In practice, we may encounter problems that fail to meet one or both
of these conditions. In either case the integral is called an improper
integral.
The integral for the area under the curve y = 1/x 2 from x = 1 to
x = ∞ is an example for which the domain is infinite.

Improper Integrals of Type 2
Another type of improper integral arises when the integrand has a vertical
asymptote at a limit of integration.

Definition of Improper Integrals of Type 2
Integrals of functions that become infinite at a point within the interval of
integration are improper integrals of Type II.

The reason is that there is a infinite discontinuity at x = 1 (this leads to

the fact that the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is not satisfied).
