In this chapter I show how integration computes the area under a graph, and I describe how single and double integration are used to compute surface areas and regions bounded by functions. Also in this chapter, we come across Jacobians, which are used to convert an integral from one coordinate system to another. To start, let’s examine the area under a graph.
