Application To Indefinite Integrals
For example, if you know that the integral of exp(x) is exp(x) from calculus with exponentials and that the integral of cos(x) is sin(x) from calculus with trigonometry then:
Some other general results come from this rule. For example:
The proof above relied on the special case of the constant factor rule in integration with k=-1.
Thus, the sum rule might be written as:
Another basic application is that sigma and integral signs can be changed around. That is:
This is simply because:

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or indefinite:
“I conceive that the leading characteristic of the nineteenth century has been the rapid growth of the scientific spirit, the consequent application of scientific methods of investigation to all the problems with which the human mind is occupied, and the correlative rejection of traditional beliefs which have proved their incompetence to bear such investigation.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“... indefinite visions of ambition are weak against the ease of doing what is habitual or beguilingly agreeable.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
