Is there as specific name for this? My colleague and I can't find one, but I thought you guys must know.

A curve does NOT have to be a circle. yes it a intergral ?ab f(x) dx = Area under the curve created by the function f(x) from point a to point b. Even if youyou use Simpson (not Homer) rule. So saying area is OK but what units. I mean if the answer is 99 then 99 what?

Never give up never give in.

Isn't the area under the curve (and, depending upon the equation, the curve, as well) called the Solution Set?

In reference to your DNT ("Do Not Touch") remark, I think the area under a curve is also referred to as "ribs"

Mmmmmm... ribs with sauerkraut.

And, too much of that will fill out that area under the curve.

Too much Sauerkraut, and you will not have to worry too much about that...

trust me...
