Integral notation is introduced early as a shorthand for antiderivatives to avoid writing cumbersome sentences. Its deeper geometric meaning, relating to areas under curves and sums of rectangles, will be motivated later when the course covers definite integrals.
Conditions: The current focus is on understanding antiderivatives.; The course will later cover definite integrals and areas under curves.
