I think i discovered a new way to define an integral, i don't know if it helps in any particular case, but its an idea worth posting i think.
The idea is to define the height of the rectangles based on one single point of the function and then build up the next heights for the other rectangles from the dx of the function.
Im a student of engineering in my first year, so i don't have a very rigorous math based way to show my ideas.
I attached two pictures showing the idea and an example
I tested it on regular functions and it works fine, the idea is to integrate a function from its derivative, maybe this could work for functions whose derivative is easier to calculate right?
