Finding areas by integration
Integration can be used to calculate areas. In simple cases, the area is given
by a single definite integral. But sometimes the integral gives a negative
answer which is minus the area, and in more complicated cases the correct
answer can be obtained only by splitting the area into several parts and adding
or subtracting the appropriate integrals. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Volumes of solids of revolution
We sometimes need to calculate the volume of a solid which can be obtained by
rotating a curve about the x-axis. There is a straightforward technique
which enables this to be done, using integration. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
