integral
Area under curve
Integral means essential to completeness—a necessary part of a whole: Music is integral to the film's emotional impact.
The word implies that removing the thing would leave something fundamentally incomplete.
In mathematics, an integral is the result of integration, a method for calculating areas, volumes, and accumulated quantities.
The noun is pronounced with stress on the first syllable; the adjective may stress either.
