You learn this theory (you find the area under a curve by adding up the boxes under a a curve) in your first semmester of calculus and is the basis for the integration which is a huge focus for the next two symmesters of calculus. (And that's only what I have taken.)

The trapizoidal rule that she "comes up with" (something you learn in Calculus 2) is acctually not even the most accurate way to estimate the area under a curve. Simpsons rule is more accurate.

It's hilarious because any engineer would instantly know to use these rules since you learn them freshman year of undergrad. This medical student redefined very commonly know theroms around those who use calculus more.

DISCLAIMER: I am only a Junior CS student who did well in Calculus. Anyone more experienced, please feel free to correct me.
