Thought-Process to Discover Knowledge

Welcome to nubtrek.

Books and other education websites provide "matter-of-fact" knowledge. Instead, nubtrek provides a thought-process to discover knowledge.

In each of the topic, the outline of the thought-process, for that topic, is provided for learners and educators.

Read in the blogs more about the unique learning experience at nubtrek.

User Guide

To make best use of nubtrek, understand what is available.

nubtrek is designed to explain mathematics and science for young readers. Every topic consists of four sections.

nub,

trek,

jogger,

exercise.

User Guide

nub is the simple explanation of the concept.

This captures the small-core of concept in simple-plain English. The objective is to make the learner to think about.

User Guide

trek is the step by step exploration of the concept.

Trekking is bit hard, requiring one to sweat and exert. The benefits of taking the steps are awesome. In the trek, concepts are explained with exploratory questions and your thinking process is honed step by step.

User Guide

jogger provides the complete mathematical definition of the concepts.

This captures the essence of learning and helps one to review at a later point. The reference is available in pdf document too. This is designed to be viewed in a smart-phone screen.

User Guide

exercise provides practice problems to become fluent in the concepts.

This part does not have much content as of now. Over time, when resources are available, this section will have curated and exam-prep focused questions to test your knowledge.

Starting on learning "". In this page, the standard forms of integration with multiplication and division are explained. Multiplication or division in integrand can be converted into something for which integration can be worked out.

We have learned the standard results of anti-derivatives as inverse of derivative. In that only few of the expressions are not covered. For example, consider int tan x dx. Has this been detailed yet?

• Yes, it has already been covered
• No, not yet.

The answer is "No, not yet". We will solve this problem in due course of this lesson.

The point being, there are several functions for which finding result of integration is not explained yet in this course.

It is also noted here that not all functions have an anti-derivative in the form of a function. For example, int e^(-x^2)dx is widely used in other scientific areas of studies, but the integral has no function-form. How do they find integral of this?

• by numerical integration or a table
• there is an anti-derivative possible

The answer is "by numerical integration or a table". This part is not covered in this course.

Though there are several functions for which integration cannot be worked out as a function, there are several other forms of functions, that can be integrated with some algebraic manipulations. The objective of this page is to provide some insights to that.

Usually, functions are made of sub-functions of standard forms with operations.

• standard forms of functions: x^n, trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, exponents, and logarithm

• Standard operations:

addition of functions f(x)+g(x),

subtraction of functions f(x)-g(x),

multiplication of functions f(x) xx g(x),

division f(x)/g(x),

multiplication or division by a constant af(x),

exponents f(x)^a,

roots f(x)^(1/n),

scaling f(ax),

shifting f(x+a), and

function of function f(g(x)) Which of these standard operations are covered in algebra of integrals?

• addition, subtraction, and multiplication by a constant
• none of the operations

The answer is "addition, subtraction, and multiplication by a constant" were covered in algebra of integrals.

int [af(x)+-g(x)]dx =a int f(x)dx +- int g(x)dx

In this lesson, we will focus on integration methods of functions with multiplication or division of sub-functions. Assume g_i(x) is a standard function for which anti-derivative is known. If a function is given as f(x) = Pi_(i=1)^n g_i(x), that is the function equals multiplication of several sub-functions. How to work out the integral of the function?

To solve this, several patterns and their properties are understood for different cases. Based on the properties, methods to handle the functions to work out the integration are provided. These are

• Integration by Identities Pi_(i=1)^n g_i(x) = sum_(i=1)^m h_i(x)

• Integration by Substitution where f(x) = g(h(x))h′(x)dx

• Integration by Parts where int g(x)h(x)dx = g(x)int h(x)dx - int [int h(x) dx] g′(x)dx

• Special cases of Integration by Parts where (g′(x))′ = -g(x)

• Special cases of Integration by Parts where g(x) = e^x and h(x) = r(x)+r′(x)

• Integration of Division by Polynomial: (r(x))/(q(x)) = t(x) + (p(x))/(q(x)), where order of p(x) is smaller than order of q(x).

• Integration by Partial fractions p(x)/(Pi_(i=1)^n g_i(x)) = sum_(i=1)^m 1/(h_i(x)) where 1/(h_i(x)) is integrable.

Let us restrict to this set of integrations.

This is an overview of the whole lesson.

The underlying pattern in this whole lesson is -- when we cannot work out integration of an integrand, convert the multiplication in integrand into something for which integration can be worked out. Unless you see this underlying pattern and connect the methods of integration, the results will be quite tedious and voluminous to learn.
