Introduction to integral calculus.
This slideshow deals with concept of integration. A complete explanation is provided that how integration can be written as summation. Area under the graph can be calculated through integration.

This area differs slightly from the area PABQ. This difference is
the sum of the small triangles formed just under the curve.

As we increase the number of intervals N, the vertices of the
bars touch the curve PQ at more points and the total area of
the small triangles decreases.
Now as N → ∞, Δx → 0 and the vertices of the bars touch
the curve at infinite number of points and the total area of
the triangles tends to zero.
Thus, we may write, area of PABQ under such limit as:

Now, let the derivative of F(x) is f(x)
i.e. , Then
F(x) is called the indefinite integration or the
