   Integral
   The cumulative continuous sum of a function. The integral of a differential equation represents the future state of a dynamical system; however, most integrals do not have an analytical solution, which means that they may only have numerical solutions, an admittedly inexact process.

   Integral
   Definition (advanced level) The integral of a function gives the area under any section of the graph of that function. Not all functions have an exact formula which does this, so sometimes we have to use numerical integration, i.e. estimating the area under the graph using numerical techniques.

    Integral
    `Integration` is a core concept of advanced mathematics, specifically in the fields of calculus and mathematical analysis. Given a function `f`(`x`) of a real variable `x` and an interval [`a`,`b`] of the real line, the `integral` : int_a^b f(x),dx is equal to the area of a region in the `xy`-plane bounded by the graph of `f`, the `x`-axis, and the vertical lines `x` = `a` and `x` = `b`, with areas below the `x`-axis being subtracted. The t...
