What are Integrals in math?

I dont understand what integral from a to b f(x) dx means

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

That's the area under the curve of f(x), across the interval x=a to x=b.

Yes, it is useful when used in conjunction with derivatives. Learn here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/integral-calculus
