INTRODUCTION

We have seen in chapter 1, that the problem of finding a tangent line at a point on a curve led to the concept of a derivative as a limit of difference quotient. The derivative is the central idea in differential calculus.

Now, we shall see how the problem of finding the area under a curve will lead to the concept of definite integral as a limit of a sum. The definite integral is the central idea in integral calculus.
