1-area under a curve in an interval.
2-integral is continuously summing to get an amount.

it's the Reimann sum. It means breaking up the area under a curve into little areas while moving under the curve along a known axis and adding them up to get an approximation of the entire area under the curve. It's used to find areas under non linear bounderies. Hope it helps. see link below.

It can be defined in many ways. One way to see it is when you graph a function, the area between the x-axis and the curve of that function between any two given points.
The fundamental theorem of calculus basically says that the derivative of the integral of a function is equal to the function.

you have to integrate the equation. It means finding the area under a curve. (:
