Ch 7Integrals — Class 12 Mathematics, concept-first.

Differential calculus centres on the derivative, originally motivated by the problem of defining tangent lines to graphs and calculating their slope. Integral calculus, by contrast, is motivated by the problem of defining and calculating the area of the region bounded by the graph of a function.

Introduction

Differential calculus centres on the derivative, originally motivated by the problem of defining tangent lines to graphs and calculating their slope.

Integration as an Inverse Process of Differentiation

Differentiation gives us the rate at which a function changes. Integration reverses this: we start with the derivative and ask, "What original function could have produced this?" This reverse process…
