Rieman sums and integrals. I can have an area function, integrate it, and then have a volume. And if you look at it from the Rieman sum angle, you are pretty much adding up an infinite amount of tiny area slices to get the volume.

Geometric interpretation of integration is really fun, it’s the analytic interpretation that most people (and I) find harder to understand.
If you work in numerically solving integrals using computers, you realise that it’s all just adding tiny areas.
I finally understand what divergent integrals are intuitively when I encountered one while trying to do a calculation on a computer.
