Definition
riemann sum is defined as a method to approximate the integral of a function using sums of areas of rectangles.
Causes
riemann sum The plot shows that the left Riemann sum is an underestimate because the function is increasing.
Effects
riemann sum The plot illustrates that the left Riemann sum underestimates the integral of an increasing function.
