Left, Right, Midpoint Riemann Sums

This applet aims to help visualize the different types of rectangular Riemann sums (left, right, and midpoint) that can be used to approximate the area under a function's curve. You can change the function, the number of rectangles, and the position of the height of each rectangle. What happens to the approximations as the number of rectangles increases?
