Basic Concepts of Integration

When a function \(f(x)\) is known we can differentiate it to obtain its derivative \(\dfrac{df}{dx}\). The reverse process is to obtain the function \(f(x)\) from knowledge of its derivative. This process is called integration. Applications of integration are numerous and some of these will be explored in subsequent Sections. First, what is important is to practise basic techniques and learn a variety of methods for integrating functions.
