How to find the area under a curve by approximating the integral of a function.
- How do you find the area under a curve?
- How do you approximate the area under a curve?
- How can you use rectangles to find the area under a curve?
This video does a great job of explaining the way to approximate the area under a curve using rectangles. A must-see for understanding the idea of an integral and as a precursor to understanding the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
