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 to, application and/or indefinite:
“Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“By an application of the theory of relativity to the taste of readers, to-day in Germany I am called a German man of science, and in England I am represented as a Swiss Jew. If I come to be regarded as a bête noire the descriptions will be reversed, and I shall become a Swiss Jew for the Germans and a German man of science for the English!”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“For me chemistry represented an indefinite cloud of future potentialities which enveloped my life to come in black volutes torn by fiery flashes, like those which had hidden Mount Sinai. Like Moses, from that cloud I expected my law, the principle of order in me, around me, and in the world.... I would watch the buds swell in spring, the mica glint in the granite, my own hands, and I would say to myself: “I will understand this, too, I will understand everything.””
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
