Detailed explanation-1: -∫ means sum. To integrate, in the sense of calculus, means to sum. The integral symbol itself is roughly an S-shape ( ∫ ).
Detailed explanation-2: -Integration can therefore be regarded as a process of adding up, that is as a summation. When-ever we wish to find areas under curves, volumes etc, we can do this by finding the area or volume of a small portion, and then summing over the whole region of interest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Terminology and notation The integral sign ∫ represents integration. The symbol dx, called the differential of the variable x, indicates that the variable of integration is x.
Detailed explanation-4: -. The symbol was invented by Leibniz and chosen to be a stylized script “S” to stand for “summation."
