I need to prove that




$$int_0^3 x d([x] - x) = dfrac32$$




However I can not think of a change of variable that can be used so I tried to approach it using Riemann Sums
$sum_i=0^3(alpha(i)-alpha(i-1) )i$
But I can not prove that the result is 3/2.
I took it from the Apóstol on Mathematical Analysis.

We discussed this type of integrals here, see the details there and you find it easy
$$int_0^3 x d([x] - x) =int_0^3 x d[x] - int_0^3xdx = 1+2+3-dfrac92 = dfrac32$$

By Wiki: Integration by parts for R-S, we have



$$int_0^3 x d([x] - x) = 3 ([3] - 3) - 0 ([0] - 0) - int_0^3 [x] - x dx$$



$$= 0 + 0 - int_0^3 [x] - x dx$$



$$= int_0^3 x - [x] dx,$$



an ordinary Riemann integral.
