Riemann Sums and Definite Integrals

This video introduces the concept of determining the area under the graph of a curve y = f(x), bounded by the x-axis on a closed interval [a, b]. We use approximation rectangles with sample points as left-endpoints, right-endpoints, and midpoints for a various polynomial functions. An error bound for the estimate for the value of the definite integral is also discussed.
