For fun, I wrote some notes on integration which should provide a good solid introduction to the subject. They are not analysis notes but more of a first introduction to integration.

Any (constructive) comments or suggestions are always welcome.

I just did a quick browse, but this is great, I had read calculus for dummies as my first introduction to the subject and this is of equal if not better quality. Plus its free! thanks alot, this is great!
 
Looks great! If you don't mind me asking, what programs did you use to make this...(i.e. for getting a nice math font, pictures, etc).
 
I am hoping to do some tutoring on the side and it helps if you have your own set of notes for things.

I used LaTeX to do the equations and things and I used inkscape for the pictures.
 
At P.5, the symbols for the upper and lower integral at eq. (11) and (13) are just the normal integral sign. Apart from that, I don't see any problems. Good work!
 
Cheers.
 
I have been compiling a sets of notes in certain things on my website: http://hyperkahler.co.uk/maths-tuition/learning-materials/

shape function:

it is to find the field variables at any point which is in terms of nodes
field variables are=displacements,rotations,e.t.c
 
I think this is really good, both as a reference to integration methods and as theory. One thing I could think of is to be careful about \int _a ^x f(x) dx, to have a different symbol for the dummy variable.

I make this explicit at the bottom of page 5, I see one typo with I haven't done this but I have used a different letter in other integrals.
