Here is a youtube video that potentially has many more integrals.
Note: some of these were incorrect, and the solutions need to all be checked in detail.
Techniques to cover, in order of difficulty:
-
Elementary antiderivatives
- Exponentials, polynomials, trig functions, logs
- u-substitutions
-
Trig identities
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \cos^2(x) = \displaystyle \int \frac 1 2 (1 + \cos(2x))\)
- Trigonometric substitutions
- Partial Fraction Decomposition
-
Reverse chain rule
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \tan(x)\)
-
Integration by parts
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int x^2 e^x\)
-
“Periodic” integration by parts
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int e^x \sin(x)\)
-
Products of powers of trigonometric functions
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \sin^3(x)\cos^2(x)\)
-
u-sub with a back-substitution
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \frac{1}{x-3\sqrt{x+10}}, u=\sqrt{x+10} \implies x = u^2-10\)
-
Trionometric reduction formulas
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \sec^3 x\)
-
Completing the square
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \sqrt{x^2+4x+5} = \displaystyle \int \sqrt{(x+2)^2 + 1}\), then trig sub
- Polynomial long division
-
Exotic antiderivatives
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int e^x + e^{-x} = \displaystyle \int 2\cosh(x)\)
- Product to sum formulas
- Shoelace method of integration by parts
-
Weierstrass substitution
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int \frac 1 {1 + \sin(x)}, \sin(x) = \frac{2t}{1+t^2}\) wher \(t=\tan(\frac x 2)\)
-
“Rigged” integration by parts
- e.g. for \(\displaystyle \int f(x) dx\), let \(u=f(x), v' = 1\)
-
Integrating even/odd functions over symmetric domains
- e.g. \(\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 \sin(x)\)
-
Bonus round: \(\displaystyle \int_\mathbb{R} e^{-x^2}\)
- Every math student should know one way of deriving this. :)
