Study Notes
Integration by Parts
- The integration by parts formula is closely related to the product rule of differentiation, as both formulas involve the derivative of a product of functions.
- The integration by parts formula is: ∫udv = uv - ∫vdu, where u and v are functions of x.
- This formula is used to integrate products of functions, especially when one of the functions can be easily integrated and the other can be easily differentiated.
History of Integration by Parts
- The integration by parts formula is attributed to Brook Taylor, an English mathematician.
Discrete Analogue
- The discrete analogue for sequences is called the summation by parts formula.
Brook Taylor's Contributions
- Brook Taylor first published his work on calculus, "Methodus Incrementorum Directa et Inversa", in 1715, which included the integration by parts formula.
