Integral - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntegralThere are many ways of formally defining an integral, not all of which are equivalent. The differences exist mostly to deal with differing special cases which may not be integrable under other definitions, but also occasionally for pedagogical reasons. The most commonly used definitions are Riemann integrals and Lebesgue integrals.
Calculus I - Definition of the Definite Integral
tutorial.math.lamar.edu › Classes › CalcIMar 04, 2021 · The number “\(a\)” that is at the bottom of the integral sign is called the lower limit of the integral and the number “\(b\)” at the top of the integral sign is called the upper limit of the integral. Also, despite the fact that \(a\) and \(b\) were given as an interval the lower limit does not necessarily need to be smaller than the upper limit.
