Ciao ragazzi in questo video parleremo di integrali vedremo innanzitutto in maniera un po informale di che cosa si tratta poi cercheremo di darne una definizione un po più rigorosa e infine vedremo concretamente come fare a calcolarli supponevo quindi che ci vengano assegnate una certa funzione f dx e un certo intervallo ab sull'asse hicks allora potete pensare all'integrale della funzione f dx sull'intervallo abili come all'area della regione di piano che vi ho colorato qui in giallo e che vedete è sostanzialmente l'area sottesa dal grafico della funzione f dx all'interno dell'inter vallino ap né altre parole l'integrale definito tra e b della funzione f dx integrata index che si indica con questa notazione ci fornisce l'area consegna della regione di piano compresa tra il grafico di f dx l'asse hicks e le rette verticali hicks uguale a da edx uguale sa.ba perché dico aria con il segno ragazzi perché quello che accade è che se il grafico della funzione f dx che io ho preso qui al di sopra della sx fosse invece al di sotto quindi se volete se la funzione f dx fosse negativa nell'inter vallino abi che ci interessa allora avremo che il risultato dell'integrale coinciderebbe con un numero che è l'area cambiata però disegno queste considerazioni sull'interpretazione geometrica dell'integrale ed in particolare sulle eventuali segno da dare all'area riprenderemo meglio in uno dei video successivi e vi saranno più chiare tra un attimo quando ci occuperemo della definizione formale dell'integrale prima però cerchiamo di capire come si chiamano le varie parti che compongono questa notazione l'intervallo avente come estremi a e b lungo qui svolgiamo l'operazione di integrazione prende il nome di intervallo o se volete anche zona di integrazione mentre la funzione f dx che stiamo integrando quindi quella di cui ci interessa l'area del sotto grafico prendendo a me di funzione integrando mentre dell'ics che ci compare qui in fondo a chiusura della notazione ci ricorda che stiamo integrando rispetto alla variabile cerchiamo a questo punto di capire come si fa a definire ha vigorosamente ed integrale e nel fare questo cominciamo considerando il caso di una funzione costante che valga sempre k e che abbia quindi come grafico una retta orizzontale per funzioni di questo tipo quindi funzioni che assumano sempre lo stesso valore all'interno dell'intervallo che ci interessa integrale viene definito dal prodotto della lunghezza dell'intervallo quindi p meno a x il valore costante che la funzione assume all'interno dell'intervallo quindi k e coincide quindi con l'area con segno del rettangolino che si viene a costruire tra il grafico della funzione l'asse hicks e le rette verticali hicks uguale ad a ed hicks uguale a b e capiti anche perché l'area col segno x che vedete b meno a che rappresenta la lunghezza della base viene sicuramente positivo infatti bit è più grande di a mentre il valore k costante che assume la funzione potrebbe anche essere negativo se questa retta orizzontale stesse al di sotto capite dell'asse delle ascisse e quindi quello che accade che il prodotto di queste due quantità ci fornisce l'area del rettangolino se k e maggiore di zero mentre ci fornirebbe l'area del rettangolino cambiata disegno se k fosse una quantità negativa abbiamo quindi visto che definire l'integrale risulta abbastanza semplice se la nostra funzione è costante e risulta un'operazione poco più complicata se la nostra funzione invece di essere costante è costante a tratti le funzioni costanti a tratti dette anche funzioni a scala non sono altro che funzioni come quella che vi ho riportato qui che assumano un certo valore per esempio k con uno in un primo intervallo poi assumono un nuovo valore per esempio k con due in un secondo intervallo e così via per un certo numero di intervalli che io che ho chiamato genericamente n quindi nell'ennesimo intervallino la funzione assumerà il valore k con n capite che a questo punto il nostro intervallo ab illo possiamo pensare come suddiviso in tanti intervalli più piccoli e vedete che ho chiamato hicks con 0 ed hicks con uno gli estremi qui del primo intervallino poi avremo hicks con uno e di xco gli estremi del secondo e così via finché a questo punto l'ultima sarebbe hicks con n e il precedente hicks con è nemmeno uno e naturalmente avremo che hicks con zero coincide con all'inizio ed hicks con n coinciderebbe quindi con b per una funzione di questo tipo quindi per una funzione a scala l'integrale viene definito come la somma algebrica delle aree prese naturalmente consegna dei vari rettangolini che si vengono a creare vedete in corrispondenza di ciascuno dei tratti in cui la funzione risulta costante vedete che i due termini che compaiono moltiplicati all'interno della sommatoria non sono altro che la base è l'altezza presa col segno del jesi mo rettangolino della nostra sequenza di n rettangolini complessivi e quindi fare la sommatoria per i che va da 1 fino ad n significa proprio poi sommare tutti questi contributi tra di loro fin qui quindi è tutto abbastanza easy l'unica differenza tra il primo caso il secondo caso se volete è che invece di avere un unico rettangolino abbiamo di sotto più rettangolini ma si tratta comunque di fare delle aree di rettangoli eventualmente prese e consegnò la faccenda diventa invece molto meno banale quando la nostra funzione non è costante perché a questo punto il sotto grafico vedete è diventato un trappeto ed è già una figura che assomiglia a un trapezio vedete a due lati paralleli ma al posto di avere un lato obliquo cern passatemi il termine un lato storto e questo naturalmente complica la cosa perché non abbiamo più una formula comoda come l'area del rettangolo da poter utilizzare come fare quindi a cavarsela in questo caso l'idea è fondamentalmente quella di andare a considerare delle funzioni a scala che siano sempre maggiori uguali della nostra funzione f dx vedete io qui viene disegnata una che ho chiamato hdx e vedete che sta sempre al di sopra o al limite eventualmente coincide con la nostra funzione f dx e quello che possiamo fare sostanzialmente approssimare il valore dell'area che vogliamo calcolare con l'integrale della funzione a scala verde e questo integrale della funzione a scala verde l'abbiamo definito prima non è altro che la somma delle aree di questi rettangolini prese con il proprio segno più precisamente possiamo dire che l'area del sotto grafico che ci riproponiamo di calcolare deve essere minore o uguale dell'integrale tra i big della funzione a scala hdx ed è anche chiaro che di funzione a scala hdx che siano sempre maggiori uguali della funzione f all'interno dell'intervallo ab non c'è solo questa ce ne sono naturalmente infinite e di queste infinite funzioni come potete notare dando un occhiata questa animazione ce ne sono alcune che approssimano meglio di altre l'area gialla che ci riproponiamo di calcolare e di conseguenza se noi considerassimo l'insieme di queste infinite funzioni e più precisamente l'insieme dei loro integrali ci aspettiamo che l'estremo inferiore di questo insieme coincide sostanzialmente con l'area che vogliamo calcolare e questo perché i ragazzi perché funzioni a scala di questo tipo sostanzialmente approssimano per eccesso la funzione viola e quindi il loro integrale ci fornirà una sovrastima dell'area e quindi se immaginassimo di prendere vi avviate le funzioni a scala che approssimano sempre meglio il comportamento della f ci aspettiamo in tutta risposta che i loro integrale diventino sempre più piccoli cioè sempre più vicini al valore vero dell'area che stiamo cercando di calcolare e quindi capite che il valore dell'area diventa proprio qui il numero a cui questi integrali tendono a mano a mano che miglioriamo l'approssimazione e quindi capite diventa l'estremo inferiore del loro insieme naturalmente lo stesso giochino che noi abbiamo appena fatto con le funzioni hdx che sovrastimano la funzione f1 lo potrebbe fare con delle funzioni a scala tipo la gdx che vi ho disegnato qui che invece sottostimano il valore di f cioè sono delle funzioni a scala che sono sempre minori uguali dalla effe dx è chiaro che similmente a quanto accadeva prima di funzioni gdx di questo tipo ce ne sono infinite e naturalmente alcune approssimeranno meglio di altre l'andamento della funzione f e dunque se consideriamo gli insieme dei loro integrali possiamo pensare al valore dell'area che vogliamo calcolare come all'estremo sud di ore di questo insieme se quindi come spesso accade l'estremo superiori di un insieme coincide con l'estremo inferiore dell'altro allora si dice che la funzione arimany integrabile sull'intervallo a b ed il valore comune è proprio l'integrale della funzione f calcolato sull'intervallo ab cosa che geometricamente possiamo interpretare come la misura nell'area o perché ho detto se come spesso accade questi due valori coincidono perché in realtà potrebbe sembrare scontato che debbano coincidere nel senso che ci si immagina che si all'estremo superiore di questo insieme che l'estremo inferiore di quest'altro insieme sostanzialmente debbano restituire l'area in realtà però ci sono dei casi di funzioni anche limitate ma molto particolari in cui questo non accade se siete curiosi e guardate che sono funzioni comunque molto poco frequenti vi lascio un link nella descrizione qui sotto dove potete approfondire la cosa capito questo vediamo adesso come si fa concretamente a calcolare un integrale e in maniera se volete in un certo senso analoga a quanto accadeva per le derivate per fare il calcolo degli integrali non si sfrutta direttamente la definizione che abbiamo appena dato un po come quando dovete calcolare una derivata e non vi sporcate le mani direttamente con il limite del rapporto incrementale che sarebbe proprio la definizione della derivata ci sono delle strategie più efficaci più rapide se volete per fare questo calcolo ecco qualcosa di simile accade con gli integrali e cerchiamo di capire concretamente come si fa la prima cosa che devo fare se voglio calcolare l'integrale di una certa funzione f dx sull'intervallo ab è quella di trovare un'altra funzione che nell'intervallo ab abbia la nostra fbx come derivata cioè dove trovare una cosiddetta primitiva della funzione f dx una volta trovata e di solito la si indica con f grande se la funzione di partenza la effe piccolo si va a calcolarla nei due estremi di integrazione è una volta che siano questi due valori c'è una volta che abbiamo f grande di b ed f grandi di a è sufficiente sottrarli per trovare proprio il valore dell'integrale quindi fondamentalmente la procedura è basata tre passaggi provo una primitiva la calcolo nei due estremi di integrazione e sottraggo questi due numeri il risultato è proprio il valore dell'integrale per capire meglio la cosa consideriamo subito un esempio e supponiamo quindi di dover calcolare l'integrale tra 0 e 5 d3x quadro index allora per prima cosa dobbiamo trovare una funzione che abbia 3x quadro come derivata nell'intervallo 05 e se ci pensate bene qual è una funzione che a 3x quadro come derivata per esempio la funzione hicks al cubo che noi dobbiamo andare a calcolare negli estremi di integrazione che sono hicks uguale a 5 ed hicks uguale a zero e vedete che per indicare che la dobbiamo calcolare proprio nei due estremi 5 è 0 si utilizza questa notazione con due parentesi quadrate e si riportano gli estremi 1 qui in alto e l'altro qui in basso quindi questa notazione sottende che adesso questo hicks al cubo lo dovremmo calcolare prima i knicks uguale a 5 e poi i knicks uguale a zero e poi dovremmo sottrarre i due valori che otteniamo se quindi lo facciamo concretamente vedete che otteniamo 5 elevato alla terza che non è altro che la primitiva hicks alla terza calcolata mettendo al posto della x5 e gli dobbiamo poi sottrarre sempre la primitiva hicks alla terza calcolata però i knicks uguale a zero cioè mettendo 0 al posto della ics e

Richard Bland College (RBC), Virginia’s selective, two-year, residential, liberal arts transfer institution, was born through innovation. In 1959, years before the Virginia Community College system was imagined, Frank Ernst – a Gateway region native, entrepreneur, and retired executive of Hopewell’s Allied Chemical Plant – proposed the creation of an institution grounded in the liberal arts tradition with opportunities for specialized training in in-demand fields such as engineering to the State Council of Higher Education. After discussions with Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia, Ernst found a willing partner in the College of William & Mary, the second-oldest university in the United States, who founded Richard Bland College in 1960. RBC has since offered multiple certificates and university-parallel two-year degrees. The College was named for the Virginia statesman and champion of public rights, Richard Bland. Son and grandson of successful planters, Richard Bland was educated at The College of William and Mary. From 1742 until his death in 1776, he represented the area in which the College is now located, first in the House of Burgesses, and later, with the adoption of a state constitution, in the House of Delegates. He also served as a delegate from Virginia in both the First and Second Continental Congresses. It seems fitting, therefore, that an institution of higher learning located in an area served for so many years by this distinguished Virginia patriot and scholar, should derive its name from one whom Jefferson described “as the most learned and logical man of those who took prominent lead in public affairs.” Before the Civil War, the property on which the College is now located was a plantation owned by the Gurley family. It became an important part of the Union-occupied territory during the 1864-1865 Siege of Petersburg. The present campus was the scene of two battles during that campaign. Shortly after the turn of the century, Hatcher Seward established a dairy and cattle farm on the former Gurley property and constructed two farmhouses. Today they serve as the President’s residence and the Hospitality House. In the early 1900s, the still-beautiful grove of pecan trees was planted. The farm was used as a work camp for about twenty conscientious objectors during World War I. The Commonwealth of Virginia authorized Central State Hospital to purchase the land in 1932 for use as the Petersburg Training School and Hospital for African-American Youth. That institution was moved in 1959, and the land, still owned by the Commonwealth, became the location for the establishment of Richard Bland College of The College of William and Mary. Under the guidance of Colonel (Ret.) James M. Carson, the former hospital and training facility was transformed into Richard Bland College, and classes were held beginning in 1961. In the late 1960s, Ernst Hall (named for a local business leader influential in the establishment of the college) was added to the original campus. In addition, a Student Center Library building and a gymnasium also were constructed in the early 1970s. Colonel Carson retired as the founding President of the College in 1973. From 1973 through 1975, Dr. Cornelius Laban, Professor of Biology, Emeritus, served as the Acting President of Richard Bland College. In 1975, Dr. Clarence Maze succeeded Colonel Carson as Richard Bland College’s second President. During his tenure, Richard Bland College expanded its academic programs, added an Asian water garden that was designed by Dr. Maze and expanded international programs and travel. In recognition of his service to the College, the renovated administration building was named Maze Hall upon his retirement in 1996. In 1996, Dr. James B. McNeer succeeded Dr. Clarence Maze as Richard Bland College’s third President. Dr. McNeer introduced a residential life program and oversaw the addition of the Residential Village in 2008. The Residential Village was comprised of two dormitories, Freedom Hall and Patriot Hall, which housed 250 students. A new Science and Technology Building was added in 2010, and in recognition of his service to the College, this building was named James B. McNeer Hall. Dr. McNeer retired in 2012. In 2012, Dr. Debbie L. Sydow succeeded Dr. James McNeer as Richard Bland College’s fourth president. Dr. Sydow expanded the reach, range and diversity of students attending Richard Bland College. She oversaw a physical campus transformation through extensive building renovation and new construction, creation of a Business Innovation Park, and conservation of the iconic pecan grove and water garden. President Sydow reinstituted intercollegiate athletics in 2013 and has since hailed three NJCAA national championship teams. She supported the Foundation’s emergence as a vibrant, entrepreneurial organization led by a Board of Directors composed largely of alumni, and she secured the largest private gift in College history to launch the W&M Promise Scholars program. By effectively leveraging partnerships, President Sydow boosted work-based learning and expanded academic and career pathways for students.
