Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Makes a connection between Indefinite Integrals (Antiderivatives) and Definite Integrals (“Area”) Historically, indefinite integration has always been defined to be the inverse of differentiation. is the collection of all possible anti-derivatives of f(x), which happen to differ only by a constant. But definite integration, motivated by the problem of finding areas under curves, was originally defined as a limit of Riemann sums. Is the limit of any Riemann sum as the number of rectangles approaches infinity … provided the limit of the Lower and the limit of the Upper Riemann sums are equal.

Only later was it discovered that the limits of these Riemann sums can actually be computed with antiderivatives, leading to our modern Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. _______________________________ _________________ The fundamental theorem allows us to calculate definite integrals By using anti-derivatives (indefinite integrals) _________________
