- A Riemann sum is introduced as a way to estimate the area between a function and the x axis over an interval and then used to define a definite integral. The concept of net area is introduced, and the fundamental theorem of calculus is introduced as a way to evaluate indefinite integrals by treating integration and differentiation as inverses of each other.
Educators HATE him! Man explains half of calculus in
Funny you think this is half of calculus
Like his demeanor?... you'd really appreciate this guy, i suspicion he is the same teacher. th-cam.com/video/URC125wpMS4/w-d-xo.html -42419
@Z M This is why people hate learning. Shut the hell up and let people enjoy learning something.
Riemann sums/integration is one of the easier chapters in Calc AB.
I suggest you to watch the videos of basis of calculus in Don't Memorie youtube channel it explain a lot
If these integrals were explained like this to us in schools, we would have learnt mathematics as a philosophy. Excellent explanation. Thanks.
Many thanks for your comments. Very kind.
Joshi,
Actually we were explained in decent manner. But due to pressure, poverty, fights, worry about future, need to score more and more and more being not SC, we learnt, wrote and forgot.
Akshat Joshi So true! I feel like my school life was just a waste of time.😑

Why wasn't this explained to you in school? This is standard way of teaching integrals found in most textbooks.
This is as clear an explanation as it gets.
Redshift Thanks!
Please google cubic Bézier curves and CAD programs.
Indeed, but I am still having headaches trying to make sense out of it...
I believe 3blue1brown's video series is even more cohesive.
J.J. Shank
I can agree. As a matter of fact, 3Blue1Brown's videos helped me understand the concept of an integral better than this one, though both have really good content.
how the hell did this guy breakdown the fundamentals of integration so elegantly,simply and beautifully ???
This video is too much for TH-cam. Some people teach these things $80 per hour
Believe you me, +Burak Kerten!! Those people are really STEALING the money if they charge THAT much!!!
Kerten ne demek ya kertenkelenin kısaltılmışı mı :D
Dude, who do you know who charges $80 an hour to teach this? Or ar you just making stuff up?
Then this video is worth $10.86!
we learnt integration and our teacher did not tell about this at all
I watch A LOT of math videos on youtube and this is really some of the best material I've seen.
John Nettles Thank you!

Why the hell aren't there more views?
Zahi Alsalman cause 'merica
Zahi Alsalman because because everyone else is watching a video on The secrets on how to get a girl
I know right
Thanks!
Because everyone already knows this stuff.
Getting straight to the point! I love it! Definitely need more views.
Samii G Glad you liked it.
Brilliant. The way you approach the concepts without throwing symbols at our face but still being clear and treating the viewers as not dumb.
10/10
this made it so clear what integrals stand for. Thank you!
Mirei a You're welcome. And thank you for the feedback.
Amazing ! So well explained that it feels like you wrote this in my brain directly without going through my eyes/ears. Thank you so much !!
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
Fantastic! Thanks for the comment.
This is the best, most concise explanation I’ve ever seen on integrals. Bless your soul for sharing this for free.
This is one of the best videos explaining math I've ever seen. Please don't ever stop producing these. You're a god send.
Wow, I'm honestly blown away I've been trying to get a more satisfying understanding of integration... and this is it
II'm in the 8th grade and I wanted to get a little ahead of the concepts of my classes.
This video was ideal for understanding the integrals.
What 8th grader is doing integrals on class
Guess he wants to be a mathematician@@yaboyyoob7531
good way to learn math and english: thank you so much!
Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad the video was helpful.
I love you man! great video keep going
Beautiful, I was looking for something like that and you just did it perfect. Thank you, you have excellent videos.
+Escoba Sin Gracia Thank you.
Brilliant! Very well made and to the point. Thank you.
What an elegant description. This clears up some mysteries for this particular layman. Well done.
Guys this man needs more attention
I knew nothing about this kind of math and now I understand it, all I need now is a teacher to go over it with me
This video was worth half of my college semester. Thank you so much for the great explanation! Please make more videos on this topic!😃
This video just blew me away! I've tried to grasp the concept behind integrals for 2 months, and this is the first video i came across that really cleared my mind
People who studied this in college commonly refers to integrals like some stuff from common sense knowledge.Which is NOT. This kind of behavior is really a pain in the ass. Thanks for clearing things up!
LOL, commonly? Understatement. Its ridiculous how hard it is to find a calculus tutorial that DOESNT ASSUME YOU KNOW EVERYTHING
I mean, to a certain extent, it is. You can't expect people to dumb everything down for you, especially when math is the subject -- in which things are usually taught in a bottom-up way
Okay, but that was too big of a jump from sum of infinite rectangles beneath a curve to integrals. Why do integrals give out the area? How was it defined? Why is it the inverse of the derivative? The inverse of the function that gives out the slope, gives out the area under it. WHY?
Bryan Keller when I was in high school I was thinking exactly the same. So the answer is as follows. You define two functions, f(x) and A(x). f(x) is a curve and A(x) is the area under f(x). Then you take the derivative of F(x) using the limit definition of the derivative. The answer that comes out of that is f(x). So this means that the derivative of a function A(x), which describes the area under the curve f(x), is f(x). This implies that the opposite operation of a derivative gives the area under a curve.
Levon Sahakian your last two sentences make no sense. I think you thought about one thing and wrote another.
Bryan Keller no, it's correct as stated
Bryan Keller so to be more clear: A(x) gives the area under f(x). When you take the derivative of A(x) using the limit definition, you get f(x)
Levon Sahakian Oh, yeah it's correct. I think I just realized the connection.
Marvellous! I've been staring at my school material for quite some time and still I can't grasp the idea of integral until I saw your video. It took me only 7 minutes and I understand much, much better. Thank you so much for your work!
Amazing! I've never thought integral could explained this easy! Awesome explanation!!!
this is awesome and i love how you explain exactly how to build the equation based on what you're trying to do
fantastic explanation :)
Feels like the information is fluently uploaded right into my brain. The pacing is amazing
It's been a while since I finished my Engineering. Nice little throwback session.
Good explanation.
Thank you so much! I have learned how to work these problems, but the teaching presented here brings it into clear focus. I now understand what I am doing in Calculus II.
20 years after my math exam you came along and explained this! Finally! Thanks!
Nice! When I read books about this subject I never understand it, but when I see this video, I know what it means. It helps a lot,
thanks for the effort! Keep up the good work mate!
I skipped like 60% of my calc classes this semester and my final is on monday...Thank you so much. This channel, or at least this video, is masterfully put together and is helping my wirey nerves calm.
Very useful, visualizing math dinamically makes the concepts more easy to learn.
Thank you!
Thank you for covering the very basic definition of integral! I really enjoyed this video!
this video has made calculus so easy, i would recommend anyone who has an issue with calculus to this video
It makes me feel good to find this video recommended to me, my last search was drunkards dancing and big chested girls..
LOL
Same
An excellent tutorial/visualisation accessable anytime, anywhere by anyone allowing great new potentials.
wow, this is by far the simplest, and most clear explanation of integration and dx I've ever seen on TH-cam!
I finally found a video that explains integrals very clearly. thanks!
Teachers have months to explain this and can't get it right, 3B1B has an amazing series about the topic, but it's still kinda long. This is the clearest explanation of calculus I've ever seen!
I love your video! Thank you so much, I barely know how to thank you for these simple yet genious videos!
Thanks for the comment. Very kind of you.
MIND BLOWN! BRILLIANT VIDEO.
Mathieu Riesling Thank you!
th-cam.com/video/rorqB3QQANA/w-d-xo.html
wow...going to listen to this over and over...wish my mind worked like yours...what a gift!
this was explained so well oh my god, I wish my teachers were this good at explaining. Great job.
th-cam.com/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/w-d-xo.html 💐.
many explanations seem better from a 2nd source mostly because you already have a foundation of the material and a second teaching seems to fill in some areas you may have been weak on or confirm existing knowledge.
Thanks a lot! Understood the concept instantly, awesome explanation.
Beautiful explanation. Love it.
Professor, you are simply awesome. I never got a session like this before. I wish you were my professor.
Just 26 letters cannot define your beautiful effort to bring this video out before us. I am sad that this video has less number of views. But I now take the charge to promote your channel.
Thank you so much for everything.
You have been doing a great job.
May the supreme lord bless you.
Also, I request you to upload your videos on Linear Algebra. We cannot visualize anything in Linear algebra.
👍👍👍👍
this is really good!. looking forward to seeing more from you
He reminds me of someone giving directions to the corner store...it is so easy, all you do is...lol. Love it!
Congratulations , you have a fan from Brazil !
Welcome, and thanks!
And another fan from Brazil. :)
you did a great job.... it remained a mystery so far for normal students like us... greatly simplified......
Best explanation I've seen so far in a video. Salute!
Finally someone....where were you all these years... By the way you could help lot of young people out there. Do More.
@ Physical Chemistry
Why is f(x) negative above that curve?
and if it is not possible in an integral to be negative then how do we calculate the rest of the area ?
Brilliantly clear explanation.
Excellent explanation. Five stars for this teacher.
this is knowledge,such clarity and professionalism.i don't think it's possible to elaborate this subject any better .thank you and i wish the best of luck
from turkey
Im a sophmore at high school and havent learned this in school yet,its a complicated concept but this is the best youtube video I have seen explaining it by far
I can't help but love this video. Thanks for all of your effort. I respect this; just subbed
th-cam.com/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/w-d-xo.html 💐.
beautiful explanation. i’ve never heard of integrals before, but now i understand their concepts rather than memorizing them.
This was amazing! Really helped me understand Integrals as the opposite of derivatives!
This is the best explanation I've ever seen. It is so good that I'd rather watch this video in english than come up with explanations in my own language (spanish).
I am in 3 grade in middle school and after practicing and playing around with this (obviously using this explanation), I can actually use calculus quite comfortably.
thanks man!
thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I've learned my pre-university maths under 8 minutes. That was awesome!
New subscriber.. amazingly simplified explanation. Thanks a ton!
had this video existed when i was in school, it could have changed a few things for me! great video
Bro huge respect to you!
Thank you. If only my teacher had taught me like this I would've enjoyed Maths.
Thank you, it is amazing for understanding the integral concept when you study it for the first time.
i watched more than 10 vedios on youtube about integral and this is the best i could find
This channel is TOP TIER
This 7 minute video masterfully summed up 2 hours of university lecture. Beautiful
This is an absolutely fantastic video!
But how the area under curve is linked to increment the power then divide bla bla, and height if the rectangles are not fixed as the curve goes up down
You need more views. This is a great explanation.
I don’t understand the concept of -1 in the second bracket of the sigma function. It may make sense in the first rectangle but what about the others?
The method in which you explain this topic I can't ever seen before well done explanation 👍
bruh i spend 5 weeks trying to understand what a derivative is and this man just explained an integral in 7 minutes. what am I doing with my life?
Your explanation is on god level, I had to watch this video twice, but only because English is not my native language, and even then I understood better here than in my school.
do you have a video on the fundamental theorem of calculus? because i don't get the connection between area and slope. why should it be a reverse?
i had no idea what integral is and this video gave me information which i get instantly, thank you for great explanation!
Sorry, I'm about to begin with Calculus, and wan't to know why would you try to calculate the area under a function? I see this method works for irregular physical areas, but what does the function area returns to you in a mathematical perspective?
Very good explanation it gives me more ideas on what integration is all about. Thanks. I need more videos like this.
Thank you so much!
i learned more from this than in my integral subject. thank you!
your captain in this ship Glad you learned something and liked it.
As someone pretty ruddy at math, I have to say this was a splendid explaination.
hey, great video. though is there a good explanation out there of how we got from the limit of the riemann-sum to the basic integration rules (for example polynomial rule, or trigonometric)? how did people find out that for polynomials such as a^n the integral is a^(n+1) * 1/(n+1)?
im in year 8, im actually very glad to see people understand this, for me it was getting weird at 2:53 but hes explaining very nicely, i will surely need him when im older, thank you very much:)
Well explained, organized writing and explanation. Thank you.
This explanation is so great that even though I’m 13 I can totally understand this and apply it to other stuff
th-cam.com/video/vFDMaHQ4kW8/w-d-xo.html 💐.
I have solved many "exercises", but never really understood what it was all about. Now I do. Thank you.
Oh, it's so cool explanation, very simple to understand what integrals are and how do they work under the hood. Thank you.
Concise and straight forward; very nice 👍
Man this is just next level of godly explaination
This is marvellous since I have now understood the concept of integration
Great work, you explained it much better than my teacher and in less time.
Im genuinely about to tear up because of how beautiful this is. The concept is so simple yet so genius. Math is beautiful.
I still hate tests though.
