Riemann Sums → Definite Integral

Pubblico: UniversityCategoria: Math

Descrizione

Visualizes how Riemann sums approximate the definite integral by increasing the number of rectangles under f(x) = x² from 0 to 3. As n grows from 4 to 32, the approximation converges to the exact area of 9, illustrating the limit definition of the integral.

Riemann Sums → Definite Integral

Description

Visualizes how Riemann sums approximate the definite integral by increasing the number of rectangles under f(x) = x² from 0 to 3. As n grows from 4 to 32, the approximation converges to the exact area of 9, illustrating the limit definition of the integral.

Phases

# Phase Name Duration Description
1 Setup 5s Title, axes, plot f(x) = x² in blue, label the region [0,3]
2 n = 4 rectangles 7s Draw 4 right-Riemann rectangles, show sum formula, display approximate value
3 n = 8 rectangles 7s Transform to 8 rectangles, update sum value, closer to 9
4 n = 16 rectangles 7s Transform to 16 rectangles, value approaches 9 more
5 n = 32 rectangles 7s Transform to 32 rectangles, nearly fills the area
6 Integral Limit 8s Show limit formula, display ∫₀³ x² dx = 9, shade the exact area
7 Summary 5s Show antiderivative computation [x³/3]₀³ = 9

  • Left 60%: Axes with curve and animated Riemann rectangles
  • Right 40%: Sum formula, running approximation value, final integral result
  • Bottom: n counter and convergence description

Assets & Dependencies

  • Fonts: LaTeX
  • Manim version: ManimCE 0.19.1

Notes

  • Right Riemann sum: xᵢ = a + i*Δx, rectangle height = f(xᵢ)
  • Exact integral value: ∫₀³ x² dx = [x³/3]₀³ = 27/3 = 9
  • Rectangle fill color: YELLOW with opacity 0.5, border ORANGE
  • Use VGroup of rectangles that transforms between n values
