What are some introductory notes on integration?

[hunt_mat]

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 a lot, 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!

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.

Thanks!
