Integrals: Introduction & Rules

Introduction to the integrals. Integrals definition and integration rules

Introduction:

Integration is one of the two basic operations in 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 use C for an arbitrary constant of integration that can only be determined if something about the value of the integral at some point is known. Thus each function has an infinite number of antiderivatives.

Rules for integration of general functions:
