Integration vs. Summation — What's the Difference?

The act or process of integrating.

In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of any kind of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total. Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

The state of becoming integrated.

The act or process of adding; addition.

The bringing of people of different racial or ethnic groups into unrestricted and equal association, as in society or an organization; desegregation.

A sum or aggregate.

(Psychology) The organization of the psychological or social traits and tendencies of a personality into a harmonious whole.

A concluding argument after the presentation of a legal case, especially an argument made to a judge or jury by an attorney for a party as to why that party should prevail.

(Mathematics) The process of computing an integral; the inverse of differentiation.

(Physiology) The process by which multiple or repeated stimuli can produce a response in a nerve, muscle, or other part that one stimulus alone cannot produce.

(Electronics) The process of placing more than one integrated circuit on a single microchip.

Summarization; summary; summing up.

The act or process of making whole or entire.

(mathematics) summing; summing up; adding (adding up) of a series of items.

The process of combining with compatible elements in order to incorporate them.

The act of summing, or forming a sum, or total amount; also, an aggregate.

(society) The process of fitting into a community, notably applied to minorities.

A concluding summary (as in presenting a case before a law court)

(US) racial integration.

(physiology) the process whereby multiple stimuli can produce a response (in a muscle or nerve or other part) that one stimulus alone does not produce

(calculus) The operation of finding the integral of a function.

The final aggregate;

(biology) In evolution, the process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent; supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in species' development.

The arithmetic operation of summing; calculating the sum of two or more numbers;

The act or process of making whole or entire.

The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.

In the theory of evolution: The process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent. It is supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in development.
