The document discusses trigonometric integrals and outlines three cases for solving integrals of the form involving nonnegative integers m and n: when m is odd, when m is even and n is odd, and when both m and n are even. It notes that some integrals can be solved directly without identities, but generally identities are used to transform integrals into easier forms to integrate. The goal is to eliminate square roots and reduce the integrals to forms that are known.

The general idea is to use identities to transform the
integrals we have to find into integrals that are easier to work with. Some integrals can be easily solved without the use of identities. Trigonometric Integrals
With m and n nonnegative integers (zero or positive), we start
with integrals of the form
3 cases arise (depending on the evenness of m & n):
m is odd m is even and n is odd m and n are both even Trigonometric Integrals Trigonometric Integrals Trigonometric Integrals Trigonometric Integrals Trigonometric Integrals Trigonometric Integrals Eliminating Square Roots Eliminating Square Roots Integrals of Powers of tan and sec Trigonometric Integrals Integrals of Powers of tan and sec
