I am able to prove the inequality by induction. I can also understand how the inequality can be derived from I.3 and I.4. I am able to follow till I.4 without any problem. But at I.5, I am not able to understand why the author wrote such a equation. Is that because he already takes A=b^3/3 wants...
Thanks for the reply

above is the link for google book. The derivation for area of parabolic segment starts at page 3 and my doubt is equation I.5 (page 6) which is covered in preview.
I'm not sure how to...
Hi all,
I am a newbie and this is my first post in PF. I have recently started on learning calculus and I'm using Apostol's calculus-I (second edition). I need some clarification on "The method of exhaustion for the area of a parabolic segment" (I 1.3 page 3). I'm able to follow the author till...
