Evaluating Improper Integrals

When we learned about definite integrals, we saw that we can evaluate the antiderivative over the limits of integration to get a number, the area under the curve over that interval. But what if that interval is infinitely large? Rather surprisingly, an infinitely large interval can actually yield a finite area! Let's see how this works by checking out a variety of different improper integrals and attempting to evaluate them.

you have gotten me through my chem and math exams. I don't know what it is about your vids, but they're just so clear. Like when I'm struggling with something I always check for your vids first

Excellent and clear content. You have helped me go through calc 1 with a horrible teacher. You're always the first one I reach to when I need to learn Calculus. When I graduate and find a job, I'll for sure donate you 30$ for helping me so much in my studies.

professor Dave, you are the light of my life

[anysianas]

You make me love maths more and more your explanations are so clear easy to understand prof Dave thank you 🙏🏾

Thank youuuu. I have seen this in calc 2, audited calc 2 and still didn't understand UNTIL I watched this video. This was one of the few calc 2 concepts I did not understand well.

Loved your explanation for the arctan limit. This was a confusion I had from a lecture last night and I just stumbled upon this in your video serendipitously.

i like how you went in depth about certain parts. It was very easy to understand.

[hoangvietphu]

i love your math videos please make them more regularly!

[JesusMartinez-zuxl]

wow! You explained this concept better than my cal instructor in 13 minutes! Thank you!

[IronMan-dizi]

Sir your explanation is great. I especially liked the way you taught here with geometrical interpretation which I was looking for ❤️❤️ Thank you sir for this amazing content

[graced]

subscribing because even though my calculus prof teaches fine, we go way too fast and i always need help. thanks dave!
