Real Analysis | Riemann Integrability

We give the definition of the lower integral, upper integral, and what it means for a function to be integrable. A few results are also proven including the fact that any continuous function is Riemann integrable.

Your real analysis videos have helped me understand higher level math concepts better than any other textbook, lecture, etc. Thank you for explaining these concepts so well!

[@tdchayes]

I started an analysis course in college, but decided it was too detailed (I did Computer Science). Now that I'm tutoring High School students in Calculus I'm finding this a useful addition to my knowledge.. Tutoring (teaching) has firmed up my understanding of the usual calculus program, but this adds one more level of depth to the understanding.

[@axelperezmachado3500]

Great! I was thinking about refreshing all this stuff yesterday and here it is!

[@AayushDuttaswag]

Quick question: Isn’t this definition of an integral closer to that of the Darboux integral (which is equivalent to the traditional Riemann integral)?

[@MichaelPennMath]

You are right! The reference I am using for these videos (in the description) is using this as the definition of the Riemann integral. I could say that I am staying consistent for students in my class -- but I also didn't think to point out that this is traditionally the Darboux integral.

[@alirezaghadami2929]

these kinda videos are great! keep it up. you re super

[@kushagrasinghal8209]

could someone help me understand what happened at 2:30 I get the fist part of the inequality but dont get what forces U9(f,p) to be less than L(f)

[@kushagrasinghal8209]

nevermind I was able to write out the inequality proof - it does follow from defintiion anf assumptio n

[@alieser7770]

Sir you are awesome

[@riadsouissi]

Hi Michael. At 2:58, you assume you can find L(f, P2) between U(f, P1) and L(f). And similarly, at 9:00, you assume you can find U(f, P1) between U(f) and U(f)+epsilon/2. Shouldn't you demonstrate first that U(f, P) and L(f, P) are continuous?

[@stashdsouza4602]

Script P contains partitions, which are more like objects than Real Numbers. If we could not find L (f, P2) > U (f, P1), then U (f, P1) would be an upper bound for all the lower sums, but since U (f, P1) < sup L this would be a contradiction. It would mean sup L is not the least upper bound as we found an upper bound smaller than sup L.

[@kavindushehan8984]

Sir could you please make a video about theorem " if set of discontinuity points has a finite number of limit points then f is Riemann integrable " . Thanks in advance!!

[@nathanisbored]

are we gonna learn a precise definition of a differential, in such a way that we will eventually be allowed to multiply and divide them like numbers (for use in solving DEs)? or will they still be relegated to being notational artifacts?

[@alphalunamare]

You might need Lebesgue for that?

[@sainandanpanigrahy4715]

According to the definition of uniform continuity, isnt it supposed to be If(x) - f(y)I < epsilon ? Why epsilon/b-a at 13:16?

[@TavartDukod]

The deffinition of uniform continuity says this inequality is true for all epsilon. Notice, the name of the variable here doesn't matter, we can replace it with any other letter, for example rho. Than we get that for all positive rho there is such an delta that if |x - y| < delta than |f(x) - f(y)| < rho. Now we can just take rho = epsilon / (b - a). The confusing part is the criterion for integribility and the definition of uniform continuity both use the same name of a variable, but when used together is important to remember those are actually to different variables.

[@Tekashiixine-yb5kh]

the short hand you used for definition as def^n_ reminds me of the shorthand my precalc teacher used. Where is the shorthand gotten from?

[@MichaelPennMath]

I am not sure where I first saw it. I think it is pretty universal. I also use sol^n, f^n (for function), poly'al (for polynomial)

[@ashutoshtiwari3129]

Hey, theres need to be a little correction, the U(f)

As long as the curiosity is there, you'll get used to it. It's a good aproach to learn Math for it's own sake

[@loeursovannra]

9:00 Hello, why U(f,P1)

[@henk7747]

Add any real number to an infimum and it is no longer a lower bound. In this case U(f) + e/2 is no longer a lower bound for the set {U(f,P)|P is in a partition}. If it's no longer a lower bound, we can an element in it that is smaller than U(f) + e/2.
