Indefinite integral means integrating a function without any limit but in definite integral there are upper and lower limits, in the other words we called that the interval of integration. While an antiderivative just means that to find the functions whom derivative will be our original function. There is a very small difference in between definite integral and antiderivative, but there is clearly a big difference in between indefinite integral and antiderivative.
Not to mention the serious but potentially-nonsensical question of "what is a variable, as opposed to constant? Or, for all I know, usage may have drifted over the years One must always pay attention to context , which may entail usages different from what's expected. As long as it's up-front and not deceitful, it's mostly harmless, even if jarring. I thought this was universal, but I Googled it and found several people who used it for any antiderivative.

The unofficial elections nomination post. The following is a list of integrals of trigonometric functions. Some of them were computed using properties of the trigonometric functions, while others used techniques such as integration by parts. Trigonometric functions can be substituted for other expressions to change the form of integrands and simplify the integration.
Trigonometric functions can be substituted for other expressions to change the form of integrands. The following are general methods of trigonometric substitution, depending on the form of the function to be integrated. Note that, for a definite integral, one must figure out how the bounds of integration change due to the substitution. Partial fraction expansions provide an approach to integrating a general rational function. Any rational function of a real variable can be written as the sum of a polynomial and a finite number of rational fractions whose denominator is the power of an irreducible polynomial and whose numerator has a degree lower than the degree of this irreducible polynomial.
Here are some common examples. Alternatively, we can complete the square:. In order to make use of the substitution. Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus.
While differentiation has easy rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful.
We also may have to resort to computers to perform an integral. A compilation of a list of integrals and techniques of integral calculus was published by the German mathematician Meyer Hirsch as early as in More extensive tables were compiled in by the Dutch mathematician David de Bierens de Haan. A new edition was published in These tables, which contain mainly integrals of elementary functions, remained in use until the middle of the 20th century.
They were then replaced by the much more extensive tables of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik. Here are a few examples of integrals in these tables for logarithmic functions:. Computers may be used for integration in two primary ways. First, numerical methods using computers can be helpful in evaluating a definite integral. There are many methods and algorithms. We will briefly learn about numerical integration in another atom. Second, there are several commercial softwares, such as Mathematica or Matlab, that can perform symbolic integration.
These programs know how to perform almost any integral that can be done analytically or in terms of standard mathematical functions. Numerical integration, in some instances also known as numerical quadrature, asks for the value of a definite integral.
In higher dimensions, where these methods become prohibitively expensive in terms of computational effort, one may use other methods such as the Monte Carlo method. Here, we will study a very simple approximation technique, called a trapezoidal rule. It follows that:. The trapezoidal rule tends to become extremely accurate when periodic functions are integrated over their periods.
Although the method can adopt a nonuniform grid as well, this example used a uniform grid for the the approximation. Such an integral is often written symbolically just like a standard definite integral, perhaps with infinity as a limit of integration.
But that conceals the limiting process. Improper Integral of the First Kind : The integral may need to be defined on an unbounded domain. The integral may fail to exist because of a vertical asymptote in the function. Integrals are also improper if the integrand is undefined at an interior point of the domain of integration, or at multiple such points.
