Define Integral Meaning

Integral
The integral, or antiderivative, is the basis for integral calculus. It tells you the area under a curve, with the base of the area being the x-axis. Its symbol is what shows up when you press alt+b on the keyboard. It can also be written as d^-1y/dx^-1. The process of finding an integral is known as integration or antidifferentiation.

The antiderivative of sin x from x=0 to x=2 is 2.
The antiderivative of sin x without boundaries is -cos x. (?sin x dx = -cos x)

The one word you NEVER want to hear from your math teacher.

Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHH! *runs out of the classroom*

Note:This definition of integral is alternate to the mathematical type of integral.

Something that, by attempting to do its intended task, inadvertently does the opposite.
Despite popular belief, this does not include things that are broken, such as something that doesn't work or is used improperly.

A: I thought of an Integral! There were so many garbage cans on the beach it actually made the beach look less clean.
B: Nice one!

A: I thought of an Integral! I wanted to have fun so I started drinking, but then I drank too much and I threw up and no longer had fun.
B: That's not an integral! You're just stupid.

Integration
Don't listen to the guy above talking about integration. Integration is NOT the reversal of differentiation. That would be the anti-derivative. Integrals and anti-derivatives are NOT the same thing. But they are connected by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

If a function f(x) has an anti-derivative F(x), the area under the curve from a to b is equal to F(b)-F(a).

This is integration defined.

Integrity is admitting to a wrong when you think you can still get away with it.

If you break a cheap glass and the owner did not see you do it, "integrity" will make you fess up.
