The Lebesgue integral, named after French mathematician Henri Lebesgue, is one way to make this concept rigorous and to extend it to more general functions.
Integration along fibers. In differential geometry, the integration along fibers of a k -form yields a -form where m is the dimension of the fiber, via "integration". It is also called the fiber integration .

The first and second stages of the rocket, along with any boosters that are being used for that flight, are integrated in the HIF, and then the stack is moved to the pad and raised to vertical.
