  • Leibniz (1646-1716) first discovered calculus
  • the key idea was that differentiation and
    integration undo each other
  • (The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus)

12
  • Newton (1642-1727) first discovered calculus
  • the key idea was that differentiation and
    integration undo each other
  • (The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus)

  • Integration

18
R
To find the area of region R, two definite
integrals have to be calculated
19
  • The Trapezium Rule always gives an approximation
    less than the true value

20
  • The area between the curve f(x), the
  • x-axis, x 1 and x 4 is given by

21
  • The area below the x-axis is always negative

22
  • The Trapezium Rule using 10 strips will give a
    more accurate approximation than one using 5
    strips

23
  • Cavalieri was the first to think of an area as
    being made up of the sum of an infinite number of
    components
  • He showed, using these methods, that the integral
    of xn from 0 to a was an1/(n 1)
