Calculus: Riemann Sums and Integrals
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

Until now, we have been viewing integrals as anti-derivatives. Now we explore them as the area under a curve between two boundaries (we will now construct definite integrals by defining the boundaries). This is the real meat of integral calculus!

Calculus: Shell Method for Rotating Around Horizontal Line

This video looks at the example showing how to find the volume of a solid of revolution (constructed by rotating around the x-axis) using the shell method (this could have been done with the disk method as well).

Calculus: Shell Method for Rotating Around Vertical Line

You want to rotate a function around a vertical line, but do all your integrating in terms of x and f(x), then the shell method is your new friend. It is similarly fantastic when you want to rotate around a horizontal line but integrate in terms of y.

Calculus: Simple Riemann Approximation Using Rectangles
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

In this tutorial, we'll think about how we can find the area under a curve. We'll first approximate this with rectangles (and trapezoids)--generally called Riemann sums. We'll then think about find the exact area by having the number of rectangles approach infinity (they'll have infinitesimal widths) which we'll use the definite integral to denote.

This 16-minute video lesson covers the Calculus-Derivative: Understanding that the derivative is just the slope of a curve at a point (or the slope of the tangent line).

Calculus: Squeeze Theorem

If a function is always smaller than one function and always greater than another (i.e. it is always between them), then if the upper and lower function converge to a limit at a point, then so does the one in between. Not only is this useful for proving certain tricky limits (we use it to prove lim (x Œ_ 0) of (sin x)/x, but it is a useful metaphor to use in life (seriously). :) This tutorial is useful but optional. It is covered in most calculus courses, but it is not necessary to progress on to the "Introduction to derivatives" tutorial.
