- I’m out of town from this afternoon through Friday
- Class will be review of test solutions with Nick
- Riemann sum
- Example(s)
- f(x) = x between 0 and 3 with 3 rectangles
- Algorithm
riemann( f, a, b, n ) (f, a, b, and n are function, lower and upper bounds on interval, & number of rectangles) Calculate delta = (b-a)/n e.g., delta = (3-0)/3=1 Calculate sum = sum of f(x) at each left edge e.g., 0+1+2 Area = multiply sum by delta e.g., 3 × 1 = 3 Output area
