TRANSCRIPT
If the partition is denoted by P, then the length of the longest subinterval is called the norm of P and is denoted by .P
As gets smaller, the approximation for the area gets better.

4.3 Definite Integrals
When we find the area under a curve by adding rectangles, the answer is called a Riemann sum.

Subinterval (partition)
The width of a rectangle is called a subinterval.
Subintervals do not all have to be the same size.
