Like Archimedes, we first approximate the area under the curve using shapes of known area (namely, rectangles). By using smaller and smaller rectangles, we get closer and closer approximations to the area. Taking a limit allows us to calculate the exact area under the curve.

Summation notation is used to represent series. Summation notation is often known as sigma notation because it uses the Greek capital letter sigma, ∑, to represent the sum. Summation notation includes an explicit formula and specifies the first and last terms in the series. In this section, we will learn how to use series to address annuity problems.
