1 00:00:00,25 --> 00:00:05,146 [MUSIC]. 2 00:00:05,146 --> 00:00:09,130 Welcome back to Calculus One and welcome to week 12 of our time together. 3 00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:11,298 We've just got a few more weeks left together in the course. 4 00:00:11,298 --> 00:00:14,634 Now where are we right now? Well two weeks ago we looked at 5 00:00:14,634 --> 00:00:18,625 antidifferentiation, we were undoing the derivative. 6 00:00:18,625 --> 00:00:21,760 And then last week we had a sudden change of pace. 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,855 We looked at integration, computing the areas under curve by taking limits of 8 00:00:25,855 --> 00:00:29,801 Riemann sums. The material from weeks 10 and weeks 11 9 00:00:29,801 --> 00:00:34,490 look totally different. But this week in week 12. 10 00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:37,913 We'll see that they're actually practically the same thing, right? 11 00:00:37,913 --> 00:00:41,280 Week 12, this week, is about the fundamental theorem of calculus. 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,240 And the content of that theorem is to show that antidifferentiation and 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,20 integration really amount to the same thing. 14 00:00:49,20 --> 00:00:53,570 This is the key insight, or at least one of the key insights of calculus. 15 00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:57,290 You know thousands of years ago, people knew about areas from this limited 16 00:00:57,290 --> 00:01:01,336 perspective, right? They used the, the method of exhaustion 17 00:01:01,336 --> 00:01:06,786 in Greek mathematics to compute areas of things like circles, by taking a limit. 18 00:01:06,786 --> 00:01:11,321 And people knew about slopes, you know, before Newton and Leibniz. 19 00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:16,13 The trick though here is that calculus, by thinking very systematically about the 20 00:01:16,13 --> 00:01:20,705 change in functions, in particular the change in the accumulation function, it's 21 00:01:20,705 --> 00:01:24,377 possible to see that finding an area really amounts to finding an 22 00:01:24,377 --> 00:01:29,920 antiderivative. That's the fundamental theorem of 23 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,696 calculus. And that's what we're going to learn 24 00:01:31,696 --> 00:01:33,782 about this week. And not just from one perspective, but 25 00:01:33,782 --> 00:01:35,914 we're going to show a bunch of different perspectives. 26 00:01:35,914 --> 00:01:40,204 To really give you a deep, intuitive understanding as to why this statement is 27 00:01:40,204 --> 00:01:43,863 true. Why antidifferentiation and finding areas 28 00:01:43,863 --> 00:01:47,359 under curves integrating are so closely related. 29 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,490 The other good news is that you've got more time to take the midterm. 30 00:01:51,490 --> 00:01:54,670 You've got until the end of March to turn in your midterm. 31 00:01:54,670 --> 00:01:58,432 If you've got any questions at all about the midterm feel free to post something 32 00:01:58,432 --> 00:02:01,606 in the forum. We want to make sure that everybody 33 00:02:01,606 --> 00:02:12,773 understands those problems. Good luck!
