Integration

This unit is intended for year 12 mathematics students there is a prerequisite of differential calculus and geometrical applications of calculus that is needed
to complete this unit. Students learn how to anti-differentiate, i.e. integrate, which allows them to find integrals, areas and volumes under curves both in
the x and y axes. By completing this unit student will have a greater understanding of Calculus and how it is used in everyday life.
