Module 6 : Definition of Integral
Lecture 16 : Integral as a limit of Riemann sums [Section 16.2]
(ii)
To define Riemann sums for a function , we do not require to be bounded. However, it can be
proved that, if is integrable, then is also bounded.
16.2.4
Example:
 

Let
              
We know that is a continuous function, and hence it is integrable. To compute its integral, for every , consider the partition obtained by dividing into equal parts, i.e.,
              .
Note that,

 

            
Let us choose 
Let . Then,
