Integration by Parts (and Linear Motion)

Calculus 2, Lectures 3B through 4 (Videotaped Fall 2016)

Integration by parts is needed to compute the definite integral to find the area under this curve representing the speed of a linear motion. — Integration by parts is needed to compute the definite integral to find the area under this curve representing the speed of a linear motion.

You might say that integration by parts is an “unexpected” or “surprising” method of integration.

While the other main method, integration by substitution, can be thought … Read the rest
