Properties of integration
Linearity
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- The collection of Riemann integrable functions on a closed interval [a, b] forms a vector space under the operations of pointwise addition and multiplication by a scalar, and the operation of integration
- is a linear functional on this vector space. Thus, firstly, the collection of integrable functions is closed under taking linear combinations; and, secondly, the integral of a linear combination is the linear combination of the integrals,
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Similarly, the set of real-valued Lebesgue integrable functions on a given measure space E with measure μ is closed under taking linear combinations and hence form a vector space, and the Lebesgue integral
- is a linear functional on this vector space, so that
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- More generally, consider the vector space of all measurable functions on a measure space (E,μ), taking values in a locally compactcomplete topological vector space V over a locally compact topological field K, f : E → V. Then one may define an abstract integration map assigning to each function f an element of V or the symbol ∞,
- that is compatible with linear combinations. In this situation the linearity holds for the subspace of functions whose integral is an element ofV (i.e. "finite"). The most important special cases arise when K is R, C, or a finite extension of the field Qp of p-adic numbers, and V is a finite-dimensional vector space over K, and when K=C and V is a complex Hilbert space.
Linearity, together with some natural continuity properties and normalisation for a certain class of "simple" functions, may be used to give an alternative definition of the integral. This is the approach of Daniell for the case of real-valued functions on a set X, generalized by Nicolas Bourbaki to functions with values in a locally compact topological vector space. See (Hildebrandt 1953) for an axiomatic characterisation of the integral.
Inequalities for integrals
A number of general inequalities hold for Riemann-integrable functions defined on a closed and bounded interval [a, b] and can be generalized to other notions of integral (Lebesgue and Daniell).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Upper and lower bounds. An integrable function f on [a, b], is necessarily bounded on that interval. Thus there are real numbers m and M so that m ≤ f (x) ≤ M for all x in [a, b]. Since the lower and upper sums of f over [a, b] are therefore bounded by, respectively, m(b − a) and M(b− a), it follows that
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Inequalities between functions. If f(x) ≤ g(x) for each x in [a, b] then each of the upper and lower sums of f is bounded above by the upper and lower sums, respectively, of g. Thus
- This is a generalization of the above inequalities, as M(b − a) is the integral of the constant function with value M over [a, b].
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Subintervals. If [c, d] is a subinterval of [a, b] and f(x) is non-negative for all x, then
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Products and absolute values of functions. If f and g are two functions then we may consider their pointwise products and powers, andabsolute values:
- If f is Riemann-integrable on [a, b] then the same is true for |f|, and
- Moreover, if f and g are both Riemann-integrable then f 2, g 2, and fg are also Riemann-integrable, and
- This inequality, known as the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, plays a prominent role in Hilbert space theory, where the left hand side is interpreted as the inner product of two square-integrable functions f and g on the interval [a, b].
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Hölder's inequality. Suppose that p and q are two real numbers, 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞ with 1/p + 1/q = 1, and f and g are two Riemann-integrable functions. Then the functions |f|p and |g|q are also integrable and the following Hölder's inequality holds:

- For p = q = 2, Hölder's inequality becomes the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Minkowski inequality. Suppose that p ≥ 1 is a real number and f and g are Riemann-integrable functions. Then |f|p, |g|p and |f + g|p are also Riemann integrable and the following Minkowski inequality holds:

- An analogue of this inequality for Lebesgue integral is used in construction of Lp spaces.
Conventions
In this section f is a real-valued Riemann-integrable function. The integral
over an interval [a, b] is defined if a < b. This means that the upper and lower sums of the function f are evaluated on a partition a = x0 ≤ x1 ≤ . . . ≤ xn = b whose values xi are increasing. Geometrically, this signifies that integration takes place "left to right", evaluating f within intervals [x i ,x i +1] where an interval with a higher index lies to the right of one with a lower index. The values a and b, the end-points of the interval, are called the limits of integration of f. Integrals can also be defined if a > b:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Reversing limits of integration. If a > b then define
This, with a = b, implies:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Integrals over intervals of length zero. If a is a real number then
The first convention is necessary in consideration of taking integrals over subintervals of [a, b]; the second says that an integral taken over a degenerate interval, or a point, should be zero. One reason for the first convention is that the integrability of f on an interval [a, b] implies that fis integrable on any subinterval [c, d], but in particular integrals have the property that:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); ">
- Additivity of integration on intervals. If c is any element of [a, b], then
With the first convention the resulting relation
is then well-defined for any cyclic permutation of a, b, and c.
Instead of viewing the above as conventions, one can also adopt the point of view that integration is performed on oriented manifolds only. If M is such an oriented m-dimensional manifold, and M' is the same manifold with opposed orientation and ω is an m-form, then one has (see below for integration of differential forms):
Fundamental theorem of calculus
The fundamental theorem of calculus is the statement that differentiation and integration are inverse operations: if a continuous function is first integrated and then differentiated, the original function is retrieved. An important consequence, sometimes called the second fundamental theorem of calculus, allows one to compute integrals by using an antiderivative of the function to be integrated.

Methods
Computing integralsThe most basic technique for computing definite integrals of one real variable is based on the fundamental theorem of calculus. It proceeds like this:
Note that the integral is not actually the antiderivative, but the fundamental theorem allows us to use antiderivatives to evaluate definite integrals.
The difficult step is often finding an antiderivative of f. It is rarely possible to glance at a function and write down its antiderivative. More often, it is necessary to use one of the many techniques that have been developed to evaluate integrals. Most of these techniques rewrite one integral as a different one which is hopefully more tractable. Techniques include:

hey Mirka
i m starting from last as i got its answer only till now. I m trying others too.
integration ( x dx / ( x2-1)3/2 ) put x2 = t so this integration will become integration ( dt / t3/2 ) answer becomes = - 1 / (x2 - 1)1/2 now applying integration by parts in our original question with lnx as first func. = - ln x / Sqrt (x2 - 1) + integration ( dx/ ( x (x2 -1)1/2 )) for second integration put x2-1 =t2 It will become integration ( dt / (t2 + 1)) = tan-1( Sqrt ( x2 -1)) so ur answer = tan-1( (x2-1)1/2 ) -lnx / (x2 - 1)1/2 + C Thank u I m trying others question too. So kindly wait.
Yo Got one more . But this method is quite big.
integration ( Sqrt ( sin(x) / ( 2 sinx + 3cosx) ) dx
= integration ( dx / Sqrt ( 2 + 3 cotx ))
put 2 + 3cotx = t2
- 3 cosec2x dx = 2 t dt
- 3 ( 1 + cot 2 x ) dx = - 3 ( 1 + ( t 2 - 2 ) 2 / 9 ) dx = ( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 )/ 3 dx = - 2t dt
dx = - 6 t dt / ( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 )
integration ( - 6 dt / ( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 ) )
= - 6 / ( 2 Sqrt (13 )) integration ( Sqrt (13 ) + t2 + Sqrt (13) -t2 ) dt / ( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 ) )
= - 6 / ( 2 Sqrt (13 )) [ integration ( Sqrt (13 ) + t2 )/ ( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 )+ integration ( Sqrt ( 13) - t2 ) /( t4 + 13 - 4 t2 )
now take t2 common from num and deno and write deno in the form ( t + Sqrt (13)/ t ) and ( t - Sqrt (13)/ t )
