Calculus: Riemann Sums and Integrals
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

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 - Sequences, Series and Function Approximation: Maclaurin and Taylor Series

In this tutorial, we will learn to approximate differentiable functions with polynomials. Beyond just being super cool, this can be useful for approximating functions so that they are easier to calculate, differentiate or integrate. So whether you will have to write simulations or become a bond trader (bond traders use polynomial approximation to estimate changes in bond prices given interest rate changes and vice versa), this tutorial could be fun. If that isn't motivation enough, we also come up with one of the most epic and powerful conclusions in all of mathematics in this tutorial: Euler's identity.

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.
