Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change. There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics

SUMMARY
An area is always positive.
The definite integral is positive for areas above
the x-axis but negative for areas below the
axis.
To find an area, we need to know whether
the curve crosses the x-axis between the
boundaries.
• For areas above the axis, the definite integral
gives the area.
• For areas below the axis, we need to change the
sign of the definite integral to find the area.

xy =
The symmetry of the curve
means that the integral
from −1 to +1 is 0.
If a curve crosses the x-axis between the limits of
integration, part of the area will be above the axis
and part below.
3
xy =e.g. between −1 and
+1
To find the area, we could
integrate from 0 to 1 and,
because of the symmetry,
double the answer.
For a curve which wasn’t symmetrical, we could
find the 2 areas separately and then add.
22. Definite Integration and Areas
You don’t need to know how the formula for area
using integration was arrived at, but you do need to
know the general ideas.
The area under the curve is split into strips.
The area of each strip is then approximated by 2
rectangles, one above and one below the curve as
shown.
The exact area of the strip under the curve lies
between the area of the 2 rectangles.
23. Definite Integration and Areas
Using 10 rectangles
below and 10 above to
estimate an area below
a curve, we have . . .
Greater accuracy would
be given with 20
rectangles below and
above . . .
For an exact answer we
let the number of
rectangles approach
infinity.
The exact area is “squashed” between 2
values which approach each other. These
values become the definite integral.

An area is always positive.
The definite integral is positive for areas above
the x-axis but negative for areas below the
axis.
To find an area, we need to know whether
the curve crosses the x-axis between the

• For areas above the axis, the definite integral

• For areas below the axis, we need to change the
