Integration
in mathematics, technique of finding a function g(x) the derivative of which, Dg(x), is
equal to a given function f(x). This is indicated by the integral sign “∫,” as in ∫f(x), usually
called the indefinite integral of the function. The symbol dx represents
an infinitesimal displacement along x; thus ∫f(x)dx is the summation of the product of f(x)
b
and dx. The definite integral, written: ∫ f ( x ) with a and b called the limits of integration,
a
is equal to g(b) − g(a), where Dg(x) = f(x).
I.I Indefinite integrals
Indefinite integration, also known as antidifferentiation, is the reversing of the
process of differentiation. Given a function f, one finds a function F such that F' = f.
Finding an antiderivative is an important process in calculus. It is used as a method to
obtain the area under a curve and to obtain many physical and electrical equations that
scientists and engineers use everyday. For example, the equation for the current
through a capacitor is, where I is current in Amperes, C is capacitance in Farads, V is
voltage in Volts and t is time in seconds. To obtain an unknown (like V), one would have
to use integration to obtain a voltage at a certain time interval.
While a true integral exists between a given boundary, taking the indefinite integral is
simply reversing differentiation in much the same way division reverses multiplication.
Instead of having a set of boundary values, one only finds an equation that would
produce the integral due to differentiation without having to use the values to get a
definite answer.
I.II Definite integrals
When integration was introduced as the reverse of differentiation, the integrals you dealt
with were indefinite integrals. The result of finding an indefinite integral is usually a
function plus a constant of integration. In this block we introduce definite integrals, so
called because the result will be a definite answer, usually a number, with no constant
of integration. Definite integrals have many applications, for example in finding areas
bounded by curves, and finding volumes of solids. Applications such as these will be
described in later examples.
