What is Riemann Sums?
Riemann sum is a method used for approximating the definite integral of a function over a given interval by dividing the interval into subintervals and then evaluating the function at specific points within each subinterval. It is named after the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann.
Riemann Sums
Riemann Sum is a certain kind of approximation of an integral by a finite sum. A Riemann sum is the sum of rectangles or trapezoids that approximate vertical slices of the area in question. German mathematician Bernhard Riemann developed the concept of Riemann Sums.
In this article, we will look into the Riemann sums, their approximation, sum notation, and solved examples in detail.
