Brainlet here, trying to learn integration. I'm having a hard time with it. When someone shows me the answer to a problem, I get how they got that answer. I can see how someone could get that. But when I'm presented with a problem, my mind goes blank. I just can't seem to replicate that. Any tips or advice for me I could use to improve?

Integrate everyday.
Luke Howard
I've been practicing everyday for a week. I can really only do the basics.
Xavier Lewis
Keep practicing. Integration seems like bullshit at first but over time you get the hang of it.

Even when problems look similar, they have different step.
Andrew Martin
do you have a textbook?
Do a couple of problems every day, check your answer against the solutions (or an online integral calculator).
It will take TIME, but eventually you will see have the foresight to recognize which techniques will help & when

A little off topic but;
Can we get a mod or Janitor to change the sticky? Im tired of answering the same questions again and again
Austin Clark
don't.

all ur trying to do is decompose the problem into something that has IT and its DERIVATIVE
it = 6x^3+5
its derivative = 18x^2

I can see that. I can see what has been done, but for some reason my mind just turns off when I'm presented with the problem and no solution has been provided.
John Price
Just make you a cheat sheet like this one.
Write down everything from 'e' limit to universal trigonometric substitution.
Aiden Turner
Because you don't know how to do derivatives properly. If your knowledge of derivatives is lacking, you're obvi not going to see that, e.g. arctanx/(1+x^2) is just u-substitution.
Do a shit ton of derivatives for 3 days and then start to work on integration again. Make sure you have the derivatives of your trig and hyperbolic trig memorized. It'll come. UC DAVIS has an excellent webpage full of integration problems and solutions. Work through those
Parker Ward
Not OP, but does anyone know any online workbook or pdf or whatever for integration?
Mason Rodriguez
I know how to do derivatives, I pretty much got that down. Though admittedly I could probably do more with inverse trig functions which are really the only basic derivatives I haven't taken the time to memorize. I'm just brainlet I suppose.
Nathaniel Carter
OP here, I actually just found this: math.byu.edu
I have to say I'm reading it and doing the exercises right now and I am actually finding it useful. I actually found something good for once.
Chase Martinez
Nigga, I tutor brainlets like you who are struggling with calc 2 and anytime I encounter someone who is having a problem with integration, it's ALWAYS because they're weak at derivatives. They always insist they're not, too.
Kevin Long
Well dip shit, I actually am starting to get the hang of it now. I was just going about shit wrong.
Brayden Richardson
Your example is a pretty ugly integral desu
Christian Miller
No, it's a very convenient integral.
18x^2 being the exact derivative of 6x^3+5 should leap out at you and scream the correct course of action.
