Editing Partition of an interval (section)

==Applications==
Partitions are used in the theory of the [[Riemann integral]], the [[Riemann–Stieltjes integral]] and the [[regulated integral]]. Specifically, as finer partitions of a given interval are considered, their mesh approaches zero and the [[Riemann sum]] based on a given partition approaches the [[Riemann integral]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ghorpade|first1=Sudhir|last2=Limaye|first2=Balmohan|title=A Course in Calculus and Real Analysis|publisher=Springer|year=2006|isbn=9780387364254|page=213|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ou53zXSBdocC&pg=PA213}}</ref>
