The question of area has long fascinated human culture. As children, we learn early on the formulas for the areas of some geometric figures: a square is $b^2$, a rectangle $b\cdot h$, a triangle $1/2 \cdot b \cdot h$ and for a circle, $\pi r^2$. The area of a rectangle is often the intuitive basis for illustrating multiplication. The area of a triangle has been known for ages. Even complicated expressions, such as [Heron's](http://tinyurl.com/mqm9z) formula which relates the area of a triangle with measurements from its perimeter have been around for 2000 years. The formula for the area of a circle is also quite old. Wikipedia dates it as far back as the [Rhind](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhind_Mathematical_Papyrus) papyrus for 1700 BC, with the approximation of $256/81$ for $\pi$.

We could add the signed area over $[0,1]$ to the above, but instead see a square of area $1$, a triangle with area $1/2$ and a triangle with signed area $-1$. The total is then $1/2$.

Consider two overlapping circles, one with smaller radius. How much area is in the larger circle that is not in the smaller? The question came up on the `Julia` [discourse](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-there-package-or-method-to-calculate-certain-area-in-julia-symbolically-with-sympy/99751) discussion board. A solution, modified from an answer of `@rocco_sprmnt21`, follows.
Without losing too-much generality, we can consider the smaller circle to have radius $a$, the larger circle to have radius $b$ and centered at $(0,c)$.
We assume some overlap -- $a \ge c-b$, but not too much -- $c-b \ge 0$ or $0 \le c-b \le a$.

This [proof](http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~ebender/20B/77_Trap.pdf) for the error estimate is involved, but is reproduced here, as it nicely integrates many of the theoretical concepts of integration discussed so far.
First, for convenience, we consider the interval $x_i$ to $x_i+h$. The actual answer over this is just $\int_{x_i}^{x_i+h}f(x) dx$. By a $u$-substitution with $u=x-x_i$ this becomes $\int_0^h f(t + x_i) dt$. For analyzing this we integrate once by parts using $u=f(t+x_i)$ and $dv=dt$. But instead of letting $v=t$, we choose to add--as is our prerogative--a constant of integration $A$, so $v=t+A$:

Integration is facilitated when an antiderivative for $f$ can be found, as then definite integrals can be evaluated through the fundamental theorem of calculus.
However, despite differentiation being an algorithmic procedure, integration is not. There are "tricks" to try, such as substitution and integration by parts. These work in some cases--but not all!

However, there are classes of functions for which algorithms exist. For example, the `SymPy` `integrate` function mostly implements an algorithm that decides if an elementary function has an antiderivative. The [elementary](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_function) functions include exponentials, their inverses (logarithms), trigonometric functions, their inverses, and powers, including $n$th roots. Not every elementary function will have an antiderivative comprised of (finite) combinations of elementary functions. The typical example is $e^{x^2}$, which has no simple antiderivative, despite its ubiquitousness.
