Packet 6: Tossup 19

The square root of pi appears in the result of this operation in many physics applications (-5[2])that involve the Gaussian function. Feynman’s trick is used to perform (15[2])this (15[1])operation (15[3])by (15[1])introducing an extra parameter. (15[1])Simpson’s rule gives a method for approximating (15[2])the result of this operation. One method of approximating this operation relies on drawing (*) trapezoids. A method of (10[1])performing this (10[1])operation (10[1])with left-hand and right-hand (10[1])varieties relies on adding up infinitely many rectangles and is named after Riemann. For 10 points, (10[1])finding “the (10[1])area under the curve” is one way to perform what operation, (10[1])the opposite of differentiation? (10[2])■END■ (0[1])
