Hey guys, I’m a first year student struggling with integration techniques. I’m having a hard time remembering all the different methods and when to use each one. Can anyone give me some tips or tricks to make this easier? Thanks!
The substitution method is your best friend. When you see something that looks like something you’ve done before, try subbing in a new variable. Also remember trig integrals and inverse trig integrals, those come up a lot.
I feel you, integration is a pain. What helped me was watching lots of worked examples on YouTube to see the different techniques in action. Khan Academy is great for that.
Replace the expression wid a simpler one that can be integrated easily, and then substitute the original expression back in at the end. Works most of the time
Try practising similar questions until u develop an intuition for when certain techniques will work better. Like riding a bike, eventually it’ll just click
