  • Chapter 1: The Riemann Integration and its Drawbacks

    1. Introduction

    Riemann integration is one of the most popular and widely-used tool in modern mathematics and areas that require advanced mathematics. We first provide a quick review on Riemann integration.

    Definition 1.1 (Partition)

    Suppose \(a,b\in \mathbb{R}\) with \(a<b\). A partition of \([a,b]\) is a finite list of the form \(x_0,x_1,\dots,x_n\), where
    $$
    a=x_0< x_1< \dotsb< x_n=b.
    $$
