Agglutination
Conglomeration

Answer 1

Integration

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Integration

• Integrals
• Integration Techniques
• Antiderivatives
• Area under the curve
• Application of Integration

Explanation:

Integration is known as the "opposite" to differentiation. Integration is essential coined "antiderivatives" for being so.

Applications of Integration include finding the area under a curve; area between 2 curves; volumes of revolution; surface area for cartesian, parametric, and polar graphs; arc length for cartesian, parametric, and polar graphs; and the Integral Test for series convergence.
