Exploring the Calculus of Area: A Journey Through Space and Physics

How did you find PF?

The World Wide Web.

Umm.. yes I think. Not sure what I’m getting into, but the pursuit of knowledge eh? Teach me please. I’m just here to share thoughts and bounce between fellow big brains. Haha this strange. Good luck!

Be welcome. If you are a kid yet, as a hint, does not go ahead in calculus I and directly see the approach to derive the area of a plane curve in the xy above the axis y=0 (say, the area from y=0 to y=x^2, from x=0 to x=1).

I did this (didn't try to derive it myself) and is the greatest regret i have in science. I would love to forget it and see if i could still derive it just by myself. But i have already bit the limit apple and would not be fair :(
