Governing equation
Reading this result: With n=12 midpoint rectangles the step is dx = 0.667. The midpoint rule already cancels much of the error at each rectangle. Adding subintervals shrinks the error toward the exact integral; midpoint and trapezoid rules converge fastest (error ~1/n²), so from n=12 the estimate tightens quickly as you push toward n=100.

About this simulation
The full Riemann Sums tool models Conway's Game of Life with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
