The document explains the concept of Riemann Sum, a method used to approximate the area under a curve by dividing it into rectangles. It provides the formula for calculating the Riemann Sum and includes an example using the function f(x) = x² + 1. The example demonstrates how to compute the area using different values of ∆x and the summation of function values.
