General Partition (and Refinement) for Riemann Sums
Instructions
Use this dynamic activity to explore the General Partition (and Refinement) for Riemann Sums. Slide n to change the number of equal intervals. Observe the Right and Left-sum as well as the lower and Upper-sum.
Reflection Questions
1. Under what condition the Right/Left-sum (Right/Left-side integration approximation) is the same with the Upper/Lower-sum? 2. What might be the disadvantage of the General Partition (with uneven intervals), compared with the Equi-Partition, while approximating the integration?
