Area Under a Curve-

      by Brian Farrelly

THE HELL OF INTEGRATION

This applet expains how integration is used to find the area under a curve in a step by step graphical process. When I first came across integration in the leaving cert I hated it and at first it felt like hell doing it. However as I came to understand the subject (especialy this part of it which is one of the more practical applications of integration) I got better at it and if you'll excuse the pun was redemed from my "Hell of Integration".Hopefully this applet can help do the same for current Leaving Cert Students!!

P.S.

in the maths box in the applet the usual integration sign is not available in the font used so '[' is used instead
