Stieltjes Integral vs Riemann Integral
Developers should learn the Stieltjes integral when working in advanced mathematical fields such as probability theory, where it is used to define expectations with respect to cumulative distribution functions, or in functional analysis for studying linear functionals meets developers should learn the riemann integral when working in fields requiring mathematical modeling, such as data science, physics simulations, or financial engineering, as it underpins concepts like area calculation, probability distributions, and signal processing. Here's our take.
Stieltjes Integral
