Integration Methods Flowchart PDF

This document provides an overview of various integration techniques. It recommends practicing many problems from the textbook, as there is no substitute for experience. The table on page 495 lists integrals that can be done in one step. If an integral is not on this list, simplification methods or substitutions may be needed. The four main techniques discussed are integration by parts, trigonometric integrals, trigonometric substitutions, and partial fractions. Guidance is provided on choosing the appropriate technique based on the form of the integral.

INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES

This review of integration techniques is in no way complete. It is vital for your success that you attempt a large
number of problems from the text (even more than are assigned). There is no substitute for practice and
experience. I hope that this guide helps you organize your studying.

On page 495 of the text you can see a table of the integrals we can do in one step. Really, the integrals from
this table that I want you to assume are doable in one step are 1-14 and 17. Those are the ones you can assume.
If your integral is not one of those, then you need some simplifying method. The first thing you should do is
look for any possible substitutions or algebraic simplifications. Then you should try one of our four new
methods. These methods, and when to choose them, are illustrated below:
