Integrals

Integrals add up tiny pieces to find totals such as area, distance, or amount.

How the Idea Works

An integral can find the area under a curve. Integrals add many tiny slices to make a whole.

Why It Helps

They can help find distance traveled when speed keeps changing. Integrals are another main tool of calculus.
