133- Riemann Sums and Their Precalculus Prerequisites

Understanding Riemann sums is essential for understanding integral calculus. Students should ideally compute a few of these prior to learning the fundamental theorem of calculus, but this is often felt to be too difficult and thus skipped. I will discover and derive the necessary summation formulas and apply them to compute a few Riemann sums.
