Integrals Explained! This video explains 3 ways to understand and interpret integrals in calculus. Two of these ways are commonly taught in school. But one way is often left behind but really unlocks real world problem solving! These conceptions of integration are then applied to real world problems.

Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”

We use unique algebra context topics, geometry context topics, trigonometry context topics, and calculus context topics. We go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
