Reduction formula is an algebraic relation connecting two integrals, which allows for the simplification or transformation of an integral into a more manageable form for evaluation.

An example of a reduction formula for $\int \sin^n x dx$, where $n$ is a positive integer, is $I_n = \int \sin x dx = \int \sin^{n-1} x \cdot \sin x dx = -\sin^{n-1} x \cdot \cos x - \int (n-1) \sin^{n-2} x \cdot \cos^2 x dx$.

The purpose of Reduction Formulae is to simplify or transform integrals into more manageable forms, making them easier to evaluate.
