Riemann Sums - Left Endpoints and Right Endpoints

Показать описание
This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into riemann sums. It explains how to approximate the area under the curve using rectangles over a closed interval. It explains how to determine the area of the region using left endpoints and right endpoints. The area under the curve is also equal to the definite integral of the function over the closed interval. The area can be approximated by taking the sum of the area of each rectangle. You can express this using sigma notation and calculate the sum using the appropriate summation formulas. The area of each rectangle is simply the product of the width and the height. The width is delta x and it represents the length of each subinterval. The height of the rectangle is represented by y which is a function of x or simply f(x). The average of the areas using the left and right endpoints is very close to the actual area under the curve. This tutorial contains a few examples and practice problems. The area using left endpoints is an under approximation or lower sum and the area using right endpoints is an over approximation or upper sum when the function is increasing. The upper sum is the higher of the two values and the lower sum is the lower of the two values.

This man just summed up (pun intended) two 50 minute lectures in 20 minutes. :) Why do we even pay tuition?

After a whole day of not understanding this concept by my Math professor's slides (at University even), this explanation explained everything in a few minutes. It is truly the epitome of studying smart.

I'm from Germany and my German video essays always confused me, completely talked past the subject and also missed the point. I was treated like an idiot. I decided to give an English video a shot and I was very pleasantly surprised. Nearly every question I've had has been answered. This channel might be my turning point in terms of understanding math in school. Thank you!

I go to UofT and I must say you are a much better teacher than the profs here who are earning 6 figures.

You are so good at explaining.. I’ve learned more from this channel than from my professor. Thank you so much

in class, i can clearly see how my teacher demonstrates this lesson on the board but i'm still having a hard time understanding the topic. but you, on the other hand, i cant see you, you are on the other side of the screen doing this, yet in just a span of 7 minutes, i now freaking understood the whole freaking thing! gosh you saved my life!

I finsinished spring semester about 3 weeks ago and got an A in calculus 1. Now i'm in summer semester doing calculus 2 and you are still carrying me through, thank you so much organic chemistry tutor. I've never been so confident about math

Hi Organic, I'm having a hard time in Calculus 1 and this video helped me understand a little more. Thanks!

There is no level of describing how amazing your videos are. I first watch your videos before reading the textbook. Really no words^2.

Do you have a patreon or something? Because I would gladly donate, etc. you are awesome

No joke I had massive homework and projects in my Accounting / INFS courses and completely ignored and fell behind Calc these past two weeks. Test tomorrow and this tutorial helped a big amount on my study guide. Thanks!

Learning from your channel is so much better as i actually understand the concept in such easy way you explain it all. I've learned more from you than school. Thank you

Thank you so much, this made it crystal clear for me. I am in Calculus 1 and geometry and graphs are not my favorites so when teacher started making random rectangles under graph and tried to finish unit as soon as possible I was a lost cause. This however makes it so much easier and basic concepts looks so challenging at first in calculus because of new signs we use to express the functions and other expressions...

Organic Chemistry turned out to be one of my best and most successful pursuits, class-wise. Partly the way my brain operates, but also partly due to an awesome female professor who had a way of explaining everything. Between organic chemistry and logic, i was good to go! lol. Couldn't believe that such a class turned out to be a strong suit for me as someone earning a degree in English Literature. Thank you University of Delaware for providing a professor who helped students easily love organic chemistry. I can't tell you what it meant to me, seeing the more superior not do as well as they went on to become veterinarians and such....they said it was a weeding-out kind of class and of all people, little inferior me rose above all the I kind of needed the confidence boost to be honest and couldn't be more appreciative that some mysterious force out there wanted other people to value me instead of ignore me. And, finally, this many years later (51 years old now believe it or not!) and I created a youtube channel. Quite a feat for someone with extremely low self-esteem who never spoke much and towed the line for her male counterparts, big time! Just needed to vent for a second. Thank you and I LOVE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY! 👑💗🐰

This is my first time to hear about this topic and I learned it in 20 minutes from this video

To be honest, you explain math better than all professors around the world do. really you are amazing thank you so much
