Calculus: An Integrated Approach to Functions and their Rates of Change, Preliminary Edition Part 93 ppt

... INTEGRALS Mathematicians make a habit of testing and pushing the boundaries of their theorems and definitions. In this section we’ll push the boundaries of the definition of the definite integral. The definition of ... the integrand is unbounded at x = 0. What motivates us to try to make sense of improper integrals? A perfectly good answer is to see if we can.” But in fact,...
