    abstract     = {Summary: Student understanding of integration has become a topic of recent interest in calculus research. Studies have shown that certain interpretations of the definite integral, such as the area under a curve or the values of an anti-derivative, are less productive in making sense of contextualized integrals, while on the other hand understanding the integral as a Riemann sum or as ``adding up pieces" is highly productive for contextualized integrals. This report investigates the frequency of these three conceptualizations in a general calculus student population. Data from student responses show a high prevalence of area and anti-derivative ideas and a very low occurrence of summation ideas. This distribution held even for students whose calculus instructors focused on Riemann sums while introducing the definite integral.},
