Integral Sheet

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. :)
