This applet demonstrates the approximation of the area under a curve using Riemann sums. By adjusting the number of segments, you can observe how the approximation approaches the actual area. Key mathematical concepts include definite integrals and Riemann sums. GeoGebra commands used include Integral, LowerSum, and UpperSum. Suitable for high school math education and learning calculus concepts.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Integral(f, 1, 2) → a
  2. LowerSum(f, 1, 2, n) → b
  3. UpperSum(f, 1, 2, n) → c
