Talk:Calculus/Integration techniques/Trigonometric Substitution

Absolutely agree with the merger. I am currently starting a page on this topic for wikiversity which I will link to this page to consolidate this page as the book source. Graemeb1967 (talk) 10:41, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The book which is being merged here Solving Integrals by Trigonometric substitution very carefully worked through the example
 * $$\int_{0}^{1} x\, \sqrt{4-3x}\, dx$$
 * On Solving Integrals by Trigonometric substitution/Procedure. I have decided to omit this example, because the step by step procedure for how to do an integration by substitution (how to handle the limits of the integral, etc.) will be discussed elsewhere in this book. Further this is an example where the book should have followed its own advice about first investigating if there are simpler ways to do the integral, as the above integral is more easily solved by substitution or integration by parts.
