In AP Calc this week we learned about using reaman sum to find the area under a curve. This was a interesting lesson because there happens to be three different ways you can find the sum while practicing reaman. You can use Lram, Rram, or Mram! I like the fact that you can use different methods to find the area because this allows you to get a more accurate answer when the shape of the curve varies. Throughout the week we got to practice using this method but then on Thursday things got even better when we found out that there's a fourth method that you can use that may be even more accurate! This method uses trapezoids to find the area. The only tricky part about this for me is remembering the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid!
