Integration - Use of a table & standard rules
Please select a resource from the list below.
Quick Reference
-
This leaflet explains what is meant by a definite integral and how it can be evaluated.
-
This leaflet explains how to integrate the sum of two functions, and constant multiples of functions, using 'linearity rules'.
-
This leaflet provides a table of integrals of common functions.
Teach Yourself
-
We may regard integration as the reverse of differentiation. So if we have
a table of derivatives, we can read it backwards as a table of
anti-derivatives. When we do this, we often need to deal with constants
which arise in the process of differentiation.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).
Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
