Why We Never Actually Learn Riemann’s Original Definition of Integrals - Riemann vs Darboux Integral

We typically credit Riemann for his discovery of integrals. However, in school, we never actually learn the actual Riemann Integral as he invented. Instead we learn the “Riemann“ Integral, which is actually the Darboux Integral. Why is that? In this video, we uncover the truth behind the two different definition of integrals.
