Summary

Adds integral-2025-visualization.wl, Mathematica code that visualizes

$$\int_0^1 \frac{4^x}{4^x+2},dx = \frac{1}{2}$$

as the area under the curve (the photo's 2025 × integral = 1012.5 is just 2025/2).

What it leverages from Mathematica

  • Exact symbolic integrationIntegrate returns 1/2, no quadrature error.
  • A symbolic proof by symmetryFullSimplify[f[x] + f[1-x] == 1] returns True, which is why the area is exactly one half.
  • Filled area-under-curve plot with the shaded region labeled 1/2.
  • Interactive midpoint Riemann sum (Manipulate) converging to the exact value.
  • Reflection / tiling picture: f and its 180° rotation about (1/2, 1/2) tile the unit square, so the area is half of it.
  • Bonus: the closed-form antiderivative, verified by differentiating back.

Notes

Code is in plain .wl (Wolfram Language) so it diffs/reviews cleanly; paste into a Mathematica notebook (or run with wolframscript) to see the interactive elements.

Generated by Claude Code

Visualizes Integrate[4^x/(4^x+2), {x,0,1}] = 1/2 with:
- exact symbolic integration
- a symbolic proof that f(x)+f(1-x)==1 (why the area is exactly 1/2)
- a filled area-under-curve plot
- an interactive midpoint Riemann-sum Manipulate
- a reflection/tiling picture showing the area is half a unit square
