  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    While not derived as a Riemann sum, taking the average of the left and right Riemann sums is the trapezoidal rule and gives a trapezoidal sum. It is one of the simplest of a very general way of approximating integrals using weighted averages. This is followed in complexity by Simpson's rule and Newton–Cotes formulas.

    Riemann's original use of the explicit formula was to give an exact formula for the number of primes less than a given number. To do this, take F(log(y)) to be y 1/2 /log(y) for 0 ≤ y ≤ x and 0 elsewhere. Then the main term of the sum on the right is the number of primes less than x.

  4. Trapezoidal rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezoidal_rule

    The trapezoidal rule may be viewed as the result obtained by averaging the left and right Riemann sums, and is sometimes defined this way. The integral can be even better approximated by partitioning the integration interval, applying the trapezoidal rule to each subinterval, and summing the results. In practice, this "chained" (or "composite ...

  6. Harmonic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_number

    The harmonic number H n can be interpreted as a Riemann sum of the integral: + = ⁡ (+). The n th harmonic number is about as large as the natural logarithm of n . The reason is that the sum is approximated by the integral ∫ 1 n 1 x d x , {\displaystyle \int _{1}^{n}{\frac {1}{x}}\,dx,} whose value is ln n .

  7. Riemann integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_integral

    One popular restriction is the use of "left-hand" and "right-hand" Riemann sums. In a left-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i for all i, and in a right-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i + 1 for all i. Alone this restriction does not impose a problem: we can refine any partition in a way that makes it a left-hand or right-hand sum by subdividing it at each t i.
