18.100A Real Analysis (Fall 2020, MIT OCW): Lecture 21 - The Riemann Integral of a Continuous Function

18.100A Real Analysis

18.100A Real Analysis (Fall 2020, MIT OCW). Instructor: Dr. Casey Rodriguez. This course covers the fundamentals of mathematical analysis: convergence of sequences and series, continuity, differentiability, Riemann integral, sequences and series of functions, uniformity, and the interchange of limit operations. It shows the utility of abstract concepts through a study of real numbers, and teaches an understanding and construction of proofs. (from ocw.mit.edu)

Lecture 21 - The Riemann Integral of a Continuous Function

Instructor: Dr. Casey Rodriguez. We continue studying the Riemann integral, proving the convergence of Riemann sums of a continuous function on a bounded interval. We also begin studying properties of the Riemann integral, which we explore more in the next lecture.
