Nov 15 - Integrating with e^x

Today we focused on integrating functions using our rule for e^x (the antiderivative of e^x is e^x + C). You will get a decent amount of practice over the next several days. Sometimes it can get confusing as to what you should use for substitution, but you will get the hang of it.

I also introduced the notion of finding areas that are "unbounded." This is in my mind one of the coolest aspects of integration - it emphasizes that each time you evaluate an integral, you are finding an infinite sum.

Thanks to Sumant for today's notes.
