About This Lesson
Calculus.
he 46th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we move from differentiation to integration by taking a look at how Autograph can be used to introduce students to the concept of the area under the curve. The good news is that Autograph can easily and clearly illustrate estimating the area using rectangles as well as the classic Trapezium and Simpson rules. We also make nice use of the Animation button to see what happens as our number of divisions increases. Clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.
This is a brilliant tutorial on how to use Autograph to demonstrate integration, the Trapezium and Simpson's Rule. Watching this will allow you to use the software to show your students the origins of these techniques rather than just showing them the formulae. Well worth a watch, have a look at the whole collection Mr Barton has created as it is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
