Five Major Integral Approximations Demonstration

A graphical view of the left, right, midpoint, trapezoid, and simpson's estimates of the definite integral. The lower limit, upper limit, and number of subdivisions are dynamic. In order to show if the approximation is an under- or over-approximation there are different functions to approximate the available.
