Riemann Summation
Riemann summation is a process in which rectangles are used to
approximate the area under the graph of a continuous function. In the
following figure, [a, b ] is divided into four subintervals, each having width
∆x = (b − a)/4.
Figure: Subintervals
Ramasu, Hagos, Gatsinzi and Samuel (BIUST) Integration April 24, 2025 12 / 45
The heights of the rectangles shown are f (x1 ), f (x2 ), f (x3 ), and f (x4 ), and the
area of the region under the curve is approximately the sum of the areas of the
four rectangles:
4
f (x1 )∆x + f (x2 )∆x + f (x3 )∆x + f (x4 )∆x = ∑ f (xi )∆x.
i =1
This is a Riemann Sum. Summation or sigma notation is denoted by a Greek
capital letter sigma, Σ. Expression on the right reads ”the sum of the product
f (xi )∆x from i = 1 to i = 4.”
Example

Riemann sum to approximate the area under the graph using:
(a) 5 equally sized subintervals.
(b) 10 equally sized subintervals.

On the other hand, xi ranges from x1 = 0 to x5 = 4 in increments of 1.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Suppose f is continuous on [a, b ].
Z x
(1) If g (x ) = f (t )dt, then g ′ (x ) = f (x ), that is,
Z x a
d
f (t )dt = f (x )
dx a
Z b
(2) g (b ) = f (x )dx = F (b ) − F (a), where F is any antiderivative
a
of f , that is F ′ = f .
Example
Z xp
Find the derivative of the function g (x ) = 1 + t 2 dt.
√ 0
Solution: Since f (t ) = 1 + t 2 is √continuous, PART 1 of the fundamental
′
Theorem of calculus gives g (x ) = 1 + x 2 .
Ramasu, Hagos, Gatsinzi and Samuel (BIUST) Integration April 24, 2025 23 / 45
Example
Now let us consider f (x ) = x 2 − 1 over [0, 2]. Here f (x ) has both positive
and negative values. See the graph below:
Ramasu, Hagos, Gatsinzi and Samuel (BIUST) Integration April 24, 2025 24 / 45
Example
Z 2
We can find f (x )dx in two ways.
0
First we use the FACT that for any a, b, c, if a < b < c, then
Z c Z b Z c
f (x )dx = f (x )dx + f (x )dx.
a a b
That is, area from a to b plus the area from b to c is the area from a to c.
Thus, since 1 ∈ [0, 2], we have
