Antiderivatives are important because they can be used to compute definite integrals, using the fundamental theorem of calculus: if F is an antiderivative of the integrable function f, then:

Base metal was originally popular because it could approximate platinum's color, sterling silver fulfilled the same function.

This property was significant because it allowed for the passage from local information about a set ( such as the continuity of a function ) to global information about the set ( such as the uniform continuity of a function ).
