This example illustrates the concepts of Riemann Sum and Definite Integral, including left endpoint approximation, right endpoint approximation, and midpoint approximation. By adjusting the interval and number of segments, one can observe how these approximation methods approach the value of the definite integral. Core mathematical concepts include functions, integration, and limits. GeoGebra commands used include polynomial functions, intervals, and slider animations. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
