What is an integral?

892 views

I’m in CalcII now and for the life of me cannot wrap my head around integrals. Now we are using things like u-Substitution methods and solving the areas between 2 curves. I can understand how the equations work, but not why because I still cannot picture what an integral is or why it’s important.

If I give you a list of numbers and ask you to add them up that’s called a sum. Now imagine I gave you a list of numbers that was infinitely long and asked you to add them up. That’s an integral.
