Study in reverse: The most important topics are at the end of the assigned sections.

Properties and evaluating denite integrals by the nding anti-derivatives and using the fundamental theorem. Be sure to spend enough time on these topics. Organize the new properties on separate sheets of paper.

Anti-Dierentiation

An anti-derivative of f is a function F with F (x) = f (x). A consequence of the Mean Value Theorem is the fact that any two anti-derivatives on a closed interval dier by a constant. You should memorize the table on Stewart, 5th Ed., page 354 or the slightly expanded (equivalent) table of indenite integrals on Stewart, 5th Ed., page 406. Every dierentiation formula can be reversed to give an anti-dierentiation formula. You need to be able to work uently to nd anti-derivatives or the equivalently, indenite integrals. The following general properties of anti-derivatives hold and follow from the related rules for dierentiation. In the table, we assume that F is an anti-derivative of f and G is an anti-derivative of g, that is, F = f, G = g.

Summation (sigma ) Notation

Copy the Properties on Stewart, 5th Ed., page 381 onto a single page. Compare to the anti-derivative table and the denite integral table created below. Note, however, unlike dierentiation, not all functions can be integrated in terms of simpler functions. New functions arise (see the second face of the Fundamental Theorem). Know how to work with the notation for Riemann sums for a small number of intervals:
i=n

f (x )x i
i=1

Properties of Denite Integration

On a single sheet of paper, copy the Table of Properties One through Eight on Stewart, 5th Ed., page 385 and 387. Compare and contrast with the previous tables.

Fundamental Theorem and Denite Integration

Part I: If f is continuous on [a, b], then the function F (x) = is, F (x) = f (x).
x a

f is an anti-derivative of f , that

b Part II: If f is continuous on [a, b], then a f (x) dx = F (b) F (a) = F (x)|b for any F which is a an anti-derivative of f , that is, F (x) = f (x).

Note that these two parts demonstrate that the process of dierentiating a function and of creating a new function via integration with a variable upper limit are inverse processes, up to a constant of integration. 1

Applications of Denite Integration

The (signed) area of the region bounded by y = f (x), x = a, x = b and the x-axis is the denite integral b a f (x) dx.

Technical Tools: The Substitution Rule

b a u[b] u[a]

The following fundamental formula (the analog of the chain rule) is the ars magnus of integration. f [u[x]]u [x]dx = f [u]du

Technical Tools: The Substitution Rule

The Art of Integration Unlike dierentiation, not all functions can be integrated in terms of simpler functions. New functions arise (via the rst part of the Fundamental Theorem), such as the natural log function and the normal (Do you grade on a curve?) probability distribution. Here is the fundamental formula (the analog of the chain rule) to the ars magnus of integration. Question: Of what practical use is the fact that the two integrals
b a

f [u[x]]u [x]dx
u[b] u[a]

and

f [u]du

are equal? Answer: Notational magic allows us to take the more complicated integral and replace it with the less complicated but equal integral. We pair them up as follows: f [u[x]] < > f [u] u [x]dx < > du
b a u[b] u[a] d c.
