How to find areas by integration

Need a little help with your math homework? No problem, the Math Centre offers students video tutorials that will provide as a reference guide for self-study. Students get self-study resources targeted to the needs of individual courses, and teachers gain generic mathematics support and study materials for use with students.

In these educational videos you'll get practice and revision materials, a chance for online practice exercises in the many branches of mathematics, including algebra, arithmetic, complex numbers, differentiation, drug dose calculations, finance, functions and graphs, geometry, graphs for health sciences, guides and case studies, integration, matrices, mechanics, numeracy skills, sequences and series, statistics, trigonometry and vectors.

This instructional math video will teach you about integration.

Integration can be used to calculate areas. In simple cases, the area is given by a single definite integral. But sometimes the integral gives a negative answer which is minus the area, and in more complicated cases the correct answer can be obtained only by splitting the area into several parts and adding or subtracting the appropriate integrals.
