Area between curves
We introduce the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” and use it study the
area of a region between two curves using the definite integral.
Accumulated cross-sections
We can also use the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to set up integrals
to compute volumes.
Length of curves
We can use the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to find the length of
curves.
Surface areas of revolution
We compute surface area of a frustrum then use the method of “Slice, Approximate,
Integrate” to find areas of surface areas of revolution.
Physical applications
We apply the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to model physical
situations.
Integration by parts
We learn a new technique, called integration by parts, to help find antiderivatives of
certain types of products by reexamining the product rule for differentiation.
Trigonometric integrals
We can use substitution and trigonometric identities to find antiderivatives of certain
types of trigonometric functions.
Improper Integrals
We can use limits to integrate functions on unbounded domains or functions with
unbounded range.
Sequences as functions
A sequence can be thought of as a function from the integers to the real numbers.
There are two ways to establish whether a sequence has a limit.
Slope fields and Euler’s method
We describe numerical and graphical methods for understanding differential
equations.
