Consider the area A under the curve y=f(x) bounded by the lines x = a, x = b and y = 0.
If f(x) is positive in this range, and a < b, this area is called the definite
integral of f(x)dx from a to b, and is written as
.
The definitions of the integrand, integralsign and differential are exactly as in the previous section.
