Introduction to Integration
• Integration is a fundamental concept in
calculus.
• It is used to calculate areas, volumes, and
other quantities.
• Integration originates from the process of
summing infinitesimal parts.
Basic Concepts of Integration
• • Indefinite Integration: No bounds, general
antiderivative.
• • Definite Integration: Bounds specified,
results in a numerical value.
• • Common rules include the power rule, sum
rule, and constant rule.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
• The theorem establishes the relationship
between differentiation and integration.
• It has two parts:
• 1. The derivative of an integral is the original
function.
• 2. The definite integral of a function can be
calculated using its antiderivative.
Techniques of Integration
• 1. Substitution Method: Simplifies integration
by changing variables.
• 2. Integration by Parts: Based on the product
rule of differentiation.
• 3. Partial Fractions: Breaks complex fractions
into simpler parts for integration.
Applications of Integration in
Geometry
• • Used to calculate the area under curves.
• • Find the volume of solids of revolution using
methods like disk and shell methods.
Applications in Physics and
Engineering
• • Work: Integration of force over distance.
• • Center of Mass: Integration to find the
average position of mass.
• • Fields: Calculation of electric and magnetic
field lines.
Integration in Real-Life Scenarios
• • Biology: Modeling population growth.
• • Economics: Calculation of consumer and
producer surplus.
• • Statistics: Probability distributions and
expected values.
Sample Problems with Solutions
• Example 1: ∫(x^2) dx = (x^3)/3 + C
• Example 2: ∫(sin x) dx = -cos x + C
• Example 3: Area under y = x^2 from x=0 to
x=1: ∫(0 to 1)(x^2) dx = 1/3.
Graphs and Visual Representations
• Graphical representations make integration
concepts clearer.
• E.g., visualizing area under a curve or the
rotation of a curve for volumes.
Conclusion
• Integration is a vital mathematical tool with
vast applications.
• It bridges pure mathematics with real-world
problems in science and engineering.
