right hand rule
If the Riemann integral is considered as a measure of area under a curve, then the expressions the of the rectangles, and is the common of the rectangles.
The Riemann integral can be approximated by using a definite value for rather than taking a limit. In this case, the partition is , and the function is evaluated at the endpoints of each of these intervals. Note that this is a special case of a right Riemann sum (http://planetmath.org/RightRiemannSum) in which the ’s are evenly spaced.
