Hi,
I feel sometimes when I'm doing calculus I lose the logic and intuition behind what I'm doing, especially when integrating. I have yet to find a way to think about it in a way it makes sense to me why the definite integral would tell us the area under a curve. Same with why the second derivative would show the concavity. Does anyone have a good explanation, video or book that could help me think about it more intuitively? I don't like just applying methods without knowing what I'm actually doing
