Extract

Integration is an important topic discussed in first year calculus. Many subsequent topics, such as solving first-order or second-order differential equations, requires the evaluation of at least one integral, and sometimes several.

The most challenging material in integration is arguably the techniques of integration. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, only basic techniques are commonly taught, while in reality, many integrals having special forms are solvable only by using more sophisticated techniques.
