In particular, the basic idea is to take a difficult problem and somehow slice it into more manageable pieces that we understand, and then use a definite integral to add up these simpler pieces.

    This section covers vectors from an algebraic perspective, including expressing vectors in coordinate form, converting between geometric and coordinate forms, and performing vector operations such as ...This section covers vectors from an algebraic perspective, including expressing vectors in coordinate form, converting between geometric and coordinate forms, and performing vector operations such as scalar multiplication and addition. It introduces unit vectors, discusses their significance, and explores their use in practical applications like force and equilibrium problems. The section includes examples and exercises to reinforce understanding of algebraic vector manipulation.

Several physical applications of the definite integral are common in engineering and physics. Definite integrals can be used to determine the mass of an object if its density function is known. Work can also be calculated from integrating a force function, or when counteracting the force of gravity, as in a pumping problem. Definite integrals can also be used to calculate the force exerted on an object submerged in a liquid.
