Abstract
For scalar functions of one variable, the fundamental theorem of calculus is a powerful tool for integration. It says that there exists an associated function, often called an antiderivative, such that the integral of the scalar function can be evaluated by looking at the antiderivative at the endpoints of the interval. Specifically, it is the following theorem.
