Standard Integration Techniques
Note that at many schools all but the Substitution Rule tend to be taught in a Calculus II class.

Substitution :
The substitution

Integration by Parts :
udv uv vdu
= -
ò ò
and
b bbaa a
udv uv vdu
= -
ò ò
. Choose
u
and
dv
fromintegral and compute
du
by differentiating
u
and compute
v
using
v dv
=
ò
.

Products and (some) Quotients of Trig Functions
For sincos
n m
xdx
ò
we have the following :
1.
n
odd.
Strip 1 sine out and convert rest tocosines using
22
sin1cos
x x
= -
, then usethe substitution cos
u x
=
.
2.
m
odd.
Strip 1 cosine out and convert restto sines using
22
cos1sin
x x
= -
, then usethe substitution
sin
u x
=
.
3.
n
and
m
both odd.
Use either 1. or 2.
4.
n
and
m
both even.
Use double angleand/or half angle formulas to reduce theintegral into a form that can be integrated.
Fortansec
n m
xdx
ò
we have the following :
1.
n
odd.
Strip 1 tangent and 1 secant out andconvert the rest to secants using
22
tansec1
x
= -
, then use the substitutionsec
u x
=
.
2.
m
even.
Strip 2 secants out and convert restto tangents using
22
sec1tan
x x
= +
, thenuse the substitution tan
u x
=
.
3.
n
odd and
m
even.
Use either 1. or 2.
4.
n
even and
m
odd.
Each integral will bedealt with differently.
