Why we consider Riemann Integral?

77 Views Asked by At

Basic integrations work with integral which defined like :

1 $$\int_0^1f(x)dx = \lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=1}^nf\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)\frac{1}{n}$$


But why we need and consider Riemann integrals?

almost integrations work with equal division like method 1.

I just think this (1) can't make sense for discontinuous function $f$.

But this is just my think.


What I want to know:

(1) Why we consider Riemann Integral instead of 1?

(2) What advantages we get if we take Riemann Integral instead of 1?
