Set
The points strictly increase from zero to . With , the given expression is exactly the midpoint Riemann sum
for the partition of an interval of . The sine argument is precisely the midpoint tag, since it is half the sum of the consecutive endpoints.
For a fixed integration interval , append and choose the final tag . The resulting Riemann sum satisfies
This makes explicit the small final interval that the original sum omits.
