Important: The student package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command Student[Calculus1][RiemannSum] instead.

The function rightsum computes a numerical approximation to an integral using rectangles. The height of each rectangle (box) is determined by the value of the function at the right side of each interval.

Four equal-sized intervals are used by default.

A graph of the approximation can be obtained by the Maple procedure rightbox.

The command with(student,rightsum) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
