The Story So Far

Pretend that you are a mathematician. You have discovered something interesting and original. (it is a good feeling, even if it is just pretend).

Your discovery: an incredible and completely new and original way to estimate the area under a continuous function by summing the area of trapezoids regularly spaced on the x-axis.

You have also put together an example image:

In compliance with the brand, you have downloaded and installed Professor Peterson's beamer theme. That way your presentation can be in all the right colors!

Graded Exercise: Write a 5-slide Beamer Presentation on your discovery. Include a title page, introduction, statement of the theorem in a newtheorem, example work through with image, and a very rough "proof".
