The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
In this lesson on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we learn about the terminology and symbolism involved in integrals, such as the integrand and differential. We also explore the Average Value Theorem, which states that there exists a number c in the open interval a, b, such that f of c is equal to the average value of f over the interval. Finally, we delve into the derivative of phi, which is the function defined by integration, and how it relates to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts.

Staff Review
This video starts off with a review of some terminology and symbolism in Calculus, such as the integral sign, lower and upper limits, the integrand, and the differential. Some theorems and results are discussed, and finally we get to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Then, some variations of the Fundamental Theorem are discussed. Some examples are also computed.
