The other half of calculus
Derivatives cut things into tiny pieces to find a rate of change. Integrals go the other way: they add up tiny pieces to get a total. The classic question: what’s the area under a curve?
There’s no formula for the area of a curvy shape, but there is for rectangles. So fill the shape with thin rectangles and add them up. The thinner they are, the better the fit.
