Techniques of Integration

In Calculus 1, integration was limited to a single substitution and reversing a derivative formula. In Chapter 8 we integrate far more complex integrands involving multiple substitutions.
We integrate algebraically with four techniques:
Integration by parts,
Trigonometric integrals,
Trigonometric substitution, and
Partial fractions decomposition.
We integrate using integral tables, found inside the back cover of Stewart.
We integrate using a computer algebra system, namely, Maple.
We integrate numerically, adding Simpson's rule to the list of numerical methods which include the trapezoidal and midpoint rules from Chapter 4.
Finally we integrate integrals involving infinity, called improper integrals.

    There are several "poems" to help us remember the combinations of trigonometric integrals:

      SEcant Even Easy!

      Sine, Cosine or Tangent Odd, Not Hard!   (Do they call this poetic license?)

      Tangent Even, Secant Odd, Very, Very Hard!!!

These poems are illustrated in the exercises above as well as the Maple Session below.
