Topic: INTEGRATION
Module 2: INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION
OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand another integration method
2. Apply integration by substitution when applicable
3. Solve integration problems
LESSON:
Some integrals cannot be evaluated readily by direct application of the standard integration
formulas. The technique for evaluating such integrals leans heavily on what is known as the method of
substitution.
This method involves a change of variable, say from x another variable u.
The purpose of substituting a new variable is to bring the problem to a form for which a
standard formula can be applied. This integration by substitution is justified by the so called Chain Rule
for Integration.
