Integrals are used to find areas under curves.
There are really just finding the sum of an infinite number of infinitely skinny recatangles under a curve and adding all the bits together to get a total area.
the symbol for integral is $$\int$$ This is a stylized S and it stands for "sum of"
They can also be used to find volumes.
There are the opposite of derivatives.
Much like multiplication and division are opposites of each other.
how they are used requires specific examples :)
