Αριστερά και δεξιά αθροίσματα Riemann
Τα εμβαδά κάτω από τις καμπύλες μπορούν να υπολογισθού με ορθογώνια. Τέτοιες εκτιμήσεις ονομάζονται αθροίσματα Riemann.
Ας υποθέσουμε ότι θέλουμε να βρούμε το εμβαδόν κάτω από αυτή την καμπύλη:
Μπορεί να αγωνιστούμε για να βρούμε το ακριβές εμβαδόν, αλλά μπορούμε να το προσεγγίσουμε χρησιμοποιώντας ορθογώνια:
Και η προσέγγισή μας γίνεται καλύτερη αν χρησιμοποιήσουμε περισσότερα ορθογώνια:
Αυτές οι προσεγγίσεις ονομάζονται Αθροίσματα Riemann, και είναι ένα θεμελιώδες εργαλείο για τον ολοκληρωτικό υπολογισμό. Ο στόχος μας, προς το παρόν, είναι να επικεντρωθούμε στην κατανόηση δύο τύπων αθροισμάτων Riemann: αριστερά αθροίσματα Riemann, και δεξιά αθροίσματα Riemann .
Αριστερά και δεξιά αθροίσματα Riemann
Για να φτιάξουμε ένα άθροισμα Riemann, πρέπει να επιλέξουμε πώς θα κάνουμε τα ορθογώνια μας. Μια πιθανή επιλογή είναι να κάνουμε τα ορθογώνια μας να αγγίξουν την καμπύλη με τις επάνω αριστερές γωνίες τους. Αυτό ονομάζεται αριστερό άθροισμα του Riemann.
Μια άλλη επιλογή είναι να κάνουμε τα ορθογώνια μας να αγγίξουν την καμπύλη με τις επάνω δεξιές γωνίες τους. Αυτό είναι ένα σωστό άθροισμα Riemann.
Καμία επιλογή δεν είναι καλύτερη από την άλλη.
Riemann άθροισμα υποδιαιρέσης/τμήματα
Terms commonly mentioned when working with Riemann sums are "subdivisions" or "partitions." These refer to the number of parts we divided the -interval into, in order to have the rectangles. Simply put, the number of subdivisions (or partitions) is the number of rectangles we use.
Subdivisions can be uniform, which means they are of equal length, or nonuniform.
Uniform subdivisions | Nonuniform subdivisions |
---|---|
Riemann sum problems with graphs
Imagine we're asked to approximate the area between and the -axis from to .
And say we decide to use a left Riemann sum with four uniform subdivisions.
Notice: Each rectangle touches the curve at its top-left corner because we're using a left Riemann sum.
Adding up the areas of the rectangles, we get units , which is an approximation for the area under the curve.
Now let's do some approximations without the aide of graphs.
Imagine we're asked to approximate the area between the -axis and the graph of from to using a right Riemann sum with three equal subdivisions. To do that, we are given a table of values for .
A good first step is to figure out the width of each subdivision. The width of the entire area we are approximating is units. If we're using three equal subdivisions, then the width of each rectangle is .
From there, we need to figure out the height of each rectangle. Our first rectangle sits on the interval . Since we are using a right Riemann sum, its top-right vertex should be on the curve where , so its -value is .
In a similar way we can find that the second rectangle, that sits on the interval , has its top-right vertex at .
Our third (and last) rectangle has its top-right vertex at .
Now all that remains is to crunch the numbers.
First rectangle | Second rectangle | Third rectangle | |
---|---|---|---|
Width | |||
Height | |||
Area |
Then, after finding the individual areas, we'd add them up to get our approximation: units .
Now imagine we're asked to approximate the area between the -axis and the graph of from to using a right Riemann sum with three equal subdivisions.
The entire interval is units wide, so each of the three rectangles should be units wide.
The first rectangle sits on , so its height is . Similarly, the height of the second rectangle is and the height of the third rectangle is .
First rectangle | Second rectangle | Third rectangle | |
---|---|---|---|
Width | |||
Height | |||
Area |
So our approximation is units .

Riemann sums sometimes overestimate and other times underestimate
Riemann sums are approximations of the area under a curve, so they will almost always be slightly more than the actual area (an overestimation) or slightly less than the actual area (an underestimation).
Want more practice? Try this exercise.
Notice: Whether a Riemann sum is an overestimation or an underestimation depends on whether the function is increasing or decreasing on the interval, and on whether it's a left or a right Riemann sum.
Key points to remember
Approximating area under a curve with rectangles
The first thing you should think of when you hear the words "Riemann sum" is that you're using rectangles to estimate the area under a curve. In your mind, you should envision something like this:
Better approximation with more subdivisions
In general, the more subdivisions (i.e. rectangles) we use to approximate an area, the better the approximation.
Left vs. right Riemann sums
Try not to mix them up. A left Riemann sum uses rectangles whose top-left vertices are on the curve. A right Riemann sum uses rectangles whose top-right vertices are on the curve.
Left Riemann sum | Right Riemann sum |
---|---|
Overestimation and underestimation
When using Riemann sums, sometimes we get an overestimation and other times we get an underestimation. It's good to be able to reason about whether a particular Riemann sum is overestimating or underestimating.
In general, if the function is always increasing or always decreasing on an interval, we can tell whether the Riemann sum approximation will be an overestimation or underestimation based on whether it's a left or a right Riemann sum.
Direction | Left Riemann sum | Right Riemann sum |
---|---|---|
Increasing | Underestimation | Overestimation |
Decreasing | Overestimation | Underestimation |
