Understanding Area Under the Curve: Estimating and Integrating with Limits

The video tutorial covers the estimation of the area under a curve using rectangular strips, both lower and upper rectangles, and explains how making the strips smaller increases accuracy. It introduces the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which relates integration to finding the area under a curve. Several examples are provided, including calculating the area under y=3x^2, y=4x^3+4, and y=2/x√x over specified intervals. The tutorial emphasizes the process of integration, setting limits, and the cancellation of constants in definite integrals.
