CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF INTEGRAL GRIDS

Abstract

For an x-y coordinate system, grids may be constructed to graphically determine the value of the definite integral. Properties such as area, moment of inertia, volume of solids of revolution etc., may be determined easily for irregular pieces. The limits of the integral are then defined by the boundary of the characteristic area. The same grids may also be used for evaluating definite integrals where the curves are piecewise continuous between the limits. Full size reproductions of some grids are included in the appendix. Appropriate scale factors will convert the integral boundary to the size of the grid. (Author)
