## Quick Answer

Calculate the exact or numerical area enclosed between two mathematical curves f(x) and g(x) over a defined interval [a, b].

## Definition

An area between two curves calculator is a calculus tool that finds the geometric area of the region bounded by two functions f(x) and g(x) over a specified interval [a, b]. It integrates the absolute difference of the two functions, ∫ |f(x) − g(x)| dx, using numerical approximation methods like Composite Simpson's Rule.

## How to Use

1. **Enter functions** — Type expressions for functions f(x) and g(x) using x as the variable (e.g. x^2, sin(x)).
2. **Set integration bounds** — Input the lower limit (a) and upper limit (b) for the definite integration interval.
3. **View results** — Read the calculated enclosed area, a table of coordinate values, and the integration step breakdown.
