    The concept of integration is usually described as “finding the area under the curve”. There are many uses for this function, including waveshaping and analog computing. An ordinary amplifier ideally changes only the amplitude of the input signal. An integrator can change the waveform of the input signal, for example, turning a square wave into a triangle wave. A practical integrator cannot be used at just any frequency. There exists a useful range of integration, outside of which the circuit does not produce the desired effect.
