Quadrature problems served as one of the main sources of problems in the development of calculus, and introduce important topics in mathematical analysis. This term is still used nowadays in the context of differential equations, where 'solving an equation by quadrature' or 'reduction to quadrature' means expressing its solution in terms of integrals. To the right are the categories of student who are obliged to attend these lectures, and in the margin the penalties payable for skipping lectures. In mathematics, quadrature is a historical term which means the process of determining area.
