An {{CMD_51}}, also called an {{CMD_52}}
computes accumulated area:
{{MATH_53}}
This is a function of {{MATH_54}} whose derivative is {{MATH_55}}, with the additional
property that {{MATH_56}}. Pay attention to the notation:

{{ENV_58}}
{{CMD_59}}
Where {{MATH_60}}.

Let
{{MATH_89}}
this is an accumulation function and {{MATH_90}}, since no area is
accumulated yet. However, {{MATH_91}}. Hence there can be no such
function {{MATH_92}}. On the other hand, there is a function {{MATH_93}} with
{{MATH_94}}
namely, {{MATH_95}}. This subtlety arises from the fact that an
accumulation function
{{MATH_96}}
gives a {{CMD_97}}specific{{CMD_98}} antiderivative of {{MATH_99}}, the one that
when evaluated at {{MATH_100}} is zero.
