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 $\pi$.

The modern approach to area begins with a non-negative function $f(x)$ over an interval $[a,b]$. The goal is to compute the area under the graph. That is, the area between $f(x)$ and the $x$-axis between $a \leq x \leq b$.

We have to be a bit careful with the Riemann sum, as the left Riemann sum will have an issue at $0=x_0$ (`0*log(0)`) returns `NaN` which will poison any subsequent arithmetic operations, so the value returned will be `NaN` and not an approximate answer. We could define our function with a check:

Then the "area" represented by the dots stays fixed over this time frame.
The engineer then thought a bit more, as the form of her answer seemed familiar. She decides to parameterize it in terms of $t$ and found with $h=1/n$: `c(t) = (C(t) - C(t-h))/h`. Ahh - the derivative approximation. But then what is the "area"? It is no longer just the sum of the dots, but in terms of the functions she finds that each column represents $c(t)\cdot h$, and the sum is just $c(t_1)h + c(t_2)h + \cdots c(t_n)h$ which looks like an approximate integral.

If the display were to reach the modern age and replace LED "dots" with a higher-pixel display, then the function to display would be $c(t) = C'(t)$ and the area displayed would be $\int_{t-10}^t c(u) du$.
