Integration by parts is a special technique of integration of two functions when they are multiplied. This method is also termed as partial integration. Another method to integrate a given function is integration by substitution method. These methods are used to make complicated integrations easy. Mathematically, integrating a product of two functions by parts is given as:

In calculus, definite integrals are referred to as the integral with limits such as upper and lower limits. It is also possible to derive the formula of integration by parts with limits. Thus, the formula is:

Integration by parts is a method for integrating productsthat strikes fear into the hearts of students. It's not that it'sconceptually difficult -- the governing formula can be derived from the product rule in about two lines of algebra. No: what makesit so feared is the complexity of the working when it is applied inpractice, and the corresponding potential for trivial errors.

Methodologically, we choose one of the terms in the product wewish to integrate to be u and one to be v, thenwe apply the formula and hope that we end up with something thateither has no integral term at all or, at least, has an integralterm we actually know how to integrate. It helps to pick theu term to be something that will reduce to a lower orderwhen differentiated because, if you differentiate it enough termsit will reduce to zero, and zero is something that even I canintegrate.

In practice, unless we can get the answer in one step or,if we're feeling very lucky, two steps, it's not going to work.Conceptually, we can apply the process as often as we like but,if we haven't eliminated the integral after two steps, we're goingto have an expression the takes a whole sheet of paper to write down.

We start by writing the two terms of the integral in tabularform, under the headings "differentiate" and "integrate". Thecolumns must be in this order, or all the signs come out wrong. We write the term we plan to differentiate in theleft column, and the term we plan to integrate in the right column. So far, we have this:

Note that the right-hand column has not changed -- the integralof ex is just ex. Why we don'thave to worry about the constant of integration here is left asan exercise for the reader :) (Hint: do it long-hand, and watch asthose suckers cancel).

Now for the crucial part. Draw lines from each cell on the left, to the one directly below it on the right. So the top-right cellis unconnected, as is the bottom-left cell. Then write signs"+" and "-" going down the row of lines. The top line is a "+", the next a "-", and so on. So now we have this:

Then perform the integrations and calculations down the rows just as before -- being very careful about the signs of theintegrals of the trigonometric functions. Students frequentlygo wrong here, and so do I. I will skip the intermediate steps;the final table is:

Constructing the solution is exactly as before, except this time wehave to be really, really careful about the signs. The first termis negative, because we have a "+" on the line, but one of the termsis itself negative, so the product of the terms is negative. The second term is positive, because thesign on the line is negative, and the product of the terms is alsonegative. Proceeding (carefully) down the table, we end up with

One very nice feature of this method, if you're prone to making trivialerrors of computation as I am, is that the integrals and differentialsare set out neatly in a table. So, once you've integrated your waydown the right-hand column, you can differentiate up the samecolumn and see if you end up where you started. Similarly, youcan integrate up the left-hand column, if the integrals are the kindthat can readily be calculated.

The tabular method has many limitations, but they are precisely thesame limitations that integration by parts itself has. Most obviously,the process has to stop somewhere, or you end up with an infinite sum.There are a few cases where the tabular method, being completelymechanical, misses a solution that a long-hand application of integration by parts will find -- unfortunately, you can't safelyassume that integration by parts will be ineffective just becauseyou can't do it entirely mechanically.

Another limitation, I guess, is that it's difficult to use thetabular method to demonstrate your working in an examination --unless the examiner is also familiar with the method. However,it's relatively easy to learn how to translate the tableinto a full-blown solution if you really have to. If you can't do that,you can at least use the tabular method to check the solution youarrived at long-hand -- the tabular solution is far more likelyto be correct.

And finally: it's possible to "prove" that this method givesthe same result as a full application of integration by parts.But if you use tabulation and the long-hand method on the sameproblem, it's easy to see intuitively that you're performing exactly the same computation.

The idea of integration by parts in calculus was proposed in 1715 by Brook Taylor, who also proposed the famous Taylor's Theorem. Generally, integrals are calculated for functions for which differentiation formulas exist. Here integration by parts is an additional technique used to find the integration of the product of functions and it is also referred to as partial integration. It changes the integration of the product of functions into integrals for which a solution can be easily computed.

Some of the inverse trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions do not have integral formulas, and here we can make use of integration by parts formula which is also popularly known as uv integration formula. Here we shall check the derivation, the graphical representation, applications, and examples of integration by parts.

In the integration by parts, the formula is split into two parts and we can observe the derivative of the first function f(x) in the second part, and the integral of the second function g(x) in both the parts. For simplicity, these functions are often represented as 'u' and 'dv' respectively. The uv integration formula using the notation of 'u' and 'dv' is:

The integration by parts formula is used to find the integral of the product of two different types of functions such as logarithmic, inverse trigonometric, algebraic, trigonometric, and exponential functions. The integration by parts formula is used to find the integral of a product. In the product rule of differentiation where we differentiate a product uv, u(x), and v(x) can be chosen in any order. But while using the integration by parts formula, for choosing the first function u(x), we have to see which of the following function comes first in the following order and then assume it as u.

The proof of integration by parts can be obtained from the formula of the derivative of the product of two functions. Thus, the integration by parts formula is also known as the product rule of integration.

Let us derive the integration by parts formula using the product rule of differentiation. Consider two functions u and v. Let their product be y. i.e., y = uv. Applying the product rule of differentiation, we get

Consider a parametric curve (x, y) = (f(θ), g(θ)). Let us consider this curve to be integrable and a one-to-one function. The integration by parts represents the area of the blue region from the below curve. Let us first consider the areas of the blue region and the yellow regions distinctly.

The application of this formula for integration by parts is for functions or expressions for which the formulas of integration do not exist. Here we try to include this formula of integration by parts and try to derive the integral. For logarithmic functions and for inverse trigonometry functions there are no integral formulas. Let us try to solve and find the integration of log x and tan-1x.

The integration by parts is the integration of the product of two functions. The two functions are generally represented as f(x) and g(x). Among the two functions, the first function f(x) is chosen such that its derivative formula exists, and the second function g(x) is selected such that an integral formula of that function exists.

The formula of integration of parts is used when the normal form of integration is not possible. Integration is generally possible for functions for which the derivative formula is available. Expressions such as logarithmic functions, inverse trigonometric functions cannot be integrated easily and hence the integrals are found using integration by parts formula.

The integration by parts is used when the simple process of integration is not possible. If there are two functions and a product between them, we can take the integration between parts formula. Also for a single function, we can take 1 as the other functions and find the integrals using integration by parts. For example, we can integrate sin-1x, log x, x cos x, using this formula.

When we come across an integral of the product of two functions, then we have to apply the integration formula. Sometimes, we use the integration by parts formula when there is a single function also such as ln x, sin-1x, tan-1x, etc.

The application of this formula for integration by parts is for functions or expressions for which the derivative does not exist, and which cannot be integrated by the simple process of integration. Here we try to use the formula of integration by parts and try to find the integral of the product of two or more functions. We can apply this formula for logarithmic functions and for inverse trigonometric functions which cannot be integrated using the simple process of integration.
