A Riemann sum of over [,] with partition is defined as = = (), where = and [,]. [1] One might produce different Riemann sums depending on which x i ∗ {\displaystyle x_{i}^{*}} 's are chosen. In the end this will not matter, if the function is Riemann integrable , when the difference or width of the summands Δ x i {\displaystyle \Delta x_{i ...
Any Riemann sum of f on [0, 1] will have the value 1, therefore the Riemann integral of f on [0, 1] is 1. Let : [,] be the indicator function of the rational numbers in [0, 1]; that is, takes the value 1 on rational numbers and 0 on irrational numbers. This function does not have a Riemann integral.
The midpoint method computes + so that the red chord is approximately parallel to the tangent line at the midpoint (the green line). In numerical analysis , a branch of applied mathematics , the midpoint method is a one-step method for numerically solving the differential equation ,
In numerical analysis, Romberg's method [1] is used to estimate the definite integral by applying Richardson extrapolation [2] repeatedly on the trapezium rule or the rectangle rule (midpoint rule). The estimates generate a triangular array.
A partition of an interval being used in a Riemann sum. The partition itself is shown in grey at the bottom, with the norm of the partition indicated in red. In mathematics, a partition of an interval [a, b] on the real line is a finite sequence x 0, x 1, x 2, …, x n of real numbers such that a = x 0 < x 1 < x 2 < … < x n = b.
It is named after Carl Johannes Thomae, but has many other names: the popcorn function, the raindrop function, the countable cloud function, the modified Dirichlet function, the ruler function (not to be confused with the integer ruler function), [2] the Riemann function, or the Stars over Babylon (John Horton Conway's name).

The variation formula computations above define the principal symbol of the mapping which sends a pseudo-Riemannian metric to its Riemann tensor, Ricci tensor, or scalar curvature.
Riemann's original use of the explicit formula was to give an exact formula for the number of primes less than a given number. To do this, take F(log(y)) to be y 1/2 /log(y) for 0 ≤ y ≤ x and 0 elsewhere. Then the main term of the sum on the right is the number of primes less than x.
