Integrating Equations

Many problems in mathematics, science, and engineering require calculating
the definite integral of a function– If the function is denoted by f(x) and the
interval of integration is a to b, then the integral can be expressed
mathematically as
The quantity I can be interpreted geometrically as the area of a region
bounded by the graph of the function f(x), the x–axis, and the limits x = a and
x = b (provided that f(x) is nonnegative throughout the interval of integration).
The operation
