Title: Area under Curves

Book Description: This is a WorkBook in which students learn to use Riemann sums to estimate the area bounded by the graph of a function. The goals are to

  1. see how rectangles are used to find approximate areas,
  2. experiment with various sizes of rectangles to get better and better approximations, and
  3. get a feel for right and left endpoint sums, and upper and lower bounds for the true area.

Author: Dan Kalman

Topics: integration, riemann sums, graphing
