The video tutorial introduces the concept of functions, explaining how inputs from a function's domain produce corresponding outputs, often denoted as f(x). It explores different ways to define functions, including conditional definitions based on whether inputs are odd or even. The tutorial then introduces a new method of defining functions using definite integrals, explaining the process of calculating areas under curves. Through examples, it demonstrates how to compute values of a new function, g(x), using definite integrals, emphasizing the versatility of integrals in defining valid functions.
