Applications of Integration
L e a rnin g Obje c ti v e s
After reading this chapter, you will be conversant with:
♦ Applications of Integration in Geometry
♦ Applications of Integration in Physics
♦ Applications of Integration in the evaluation of series
Introduction
So far we discussed various techniques of integration and worked out many examples. In this chapter,
we shall explore most of the geometric applications of integration, a few applications of physics and
evaluation of integral. We shall begin with the areas of plane regions.
15.1 GEOMETRIC APPLICATIONS
The process of integration has tremendous applications in geometry. However ...
