I'd say 25, but that's longer than KZbin has been around

Nice work, kids. I especially enjoyed the shout out to Riemann. I had a German professor who never used the word "integral" but always called it the "Riemann sum"

[@alexthealex7492]

They’re different concepts. A Riemann sum is generally less accurate than a definite integral unless the width of each subsection is zero
