→‎Riemann integral: The Riemann Integral is the one commonly taught in school and continues to be the most useful definition for scientific purposes. The more complex Lebesgue Integral is used today in some mathematical fields.

It is defined as the sum of infinitesimal segments of the x-axis of the area under the function on a graph, between ''f(a)'' and ''f(b)''.

As it is more versatile, the [[Lebesgue]] Integral has superseded this definition.
