In most other countries, the metric system is the primary system of measurement. People in many countries use words like “kilometer,” “liter,” and “milligram” to measure the length, volume, and weight of different objects. These measurement units are part of the metric system.

En la mayoría de los demás países, el sistema métrico es el principal sistema de medición. La gente en muchos países usa palabras como “kilómetro”, “litro” y “miligramo” para medir la longitud, el volumen y el peso de diferentes objetos. Estas unidades de medida forman parte del sistema métrico.

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.

Then, we go on to describe how to find the limit of a function at a given point. Not all functions have limits at all points, and we discuss what this means and how we can tell if a function does or does not have a limit at a particular value.
