MOD x-First iterated integral over a rectangle

Suppose we wish to compute over a rectangle . We could first compute , holding constant. Then, computing gives us the answer. In other words, which we just write as . This is called an iterated integral. Fubini's Theorem tells us that if is continuous throughout , then . That is, the order of integration does not matter. In this interactive figure we demonstrate an iterated integral by first integrating with respect to then integrating with respect to . Click through each of the checkboxes in order and see why the iterated integral is a valid way of computing the double integral.
