The Fundamental Theorems of Calculus

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus, specifically the first and second theorems, which establish the relationship between differentiation and integration. The first theorem states that if a function f is continuous on an interval [a,b], then the integral of f is an antiderivative of f. The second theorem asserts that if G is any differentiable function on [a,b] such that G’(x) = f(x), then G differs from the integral of f by a constant. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these theorems in the context of Riemann integrability and Lipschitz continuity.

briefly put, if f is only integrable, then every integral of f is also an antiderivative, but not every (continuous) antiderivative of f is an integral of f.
