 * @brief Compute integral approximation of the function using [Riemann
 * sum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum)
 * @details In mathematics, a Riemann sum is a certain kind of approximation of
 * an integral by a finite sum. It is named after nineteenth-century German
 * mathematician Bernhard Riemann. One very common application is approximating
 * the area of functions or lines on a graph and the length of curves and other
 * approximations. The sum is calculated by partitioning the region into shapes
 * (rectangles, trapezoids, parabolas, or cubics) that form a region similar to
 * the region being measured, then calculating the area for each of these
 * shapes, and finally adding all of these small areas together. This approach
 * can be used to find a numerical approximation for a definite integral even if
 * the fundamental theorem of calculus does not make it easy to find a
 * closed-form solution. Because the region filled by the small shapes is
 * usually not the same shape as the region being measured, the Riemann sum will
 * differ from the area being measured. This error can be reduced by dividing up
 * the region more finely, using smaller and smaller shapes. As the shapes get
 * smaller and smaller, the sum approaches the Riemann integral. \author
