Definition

Let a<ba < b and let f ⁣:[a,b]→ℝf \colon [a, b] \to \mathbb{R} be a function. The function ff is Riemann integrable on [a,b][a, b] if there is a real number II with the following property. For each ε>0\varepsilon > 0 there is δ>0\delta > 0 such that ∣S(f,P,t)−I∣<ε|S(f, P, t) - I| < \varepsilon for each tagged partition (P,t)(P, t) of [a,b][a, b] with mesh ∥P∥<δ\| P \| < \delta. Here S(f,P,t)S(f, P, t) is the Riemann sum of ff for (P,t)(P, t).

Remarks

The number II is unique. It is the Riemann integral of ff. A Riemann integrable function is bounded. Continuous functions and monotone functions on [a,b][a, b] are Riemann integrable. The Dirichlet function is not.
