A different technique, which goes back to Laplace (1812), [3] is the following. Let = =. Since the limits on s as y → ±∞ depend on the sign of x, it simplifies the calculation to use the fact that e −x 2 is an even function, and, therefore, the integral over all real numbers is just twice the integral from zero to infinity.

In integral calculus, Euler's formula for complex numbers may be used to evaluate integrals involving trigonometric functions. Using Euler's formula, any trigonometric function may be written in terms of complex exponential functions, namely e i x {\displaystyle e^{ix}} and e − i x {\displaystyle e^{-ix}} and then integrated.
The next significant advances in integral calculus did not begin to appear until the 17th century. At this time, the work of Cavalieri with his method of indivisibles, and work by Fermat, began to lay the foundations of modern calculus, [7] with Cavalieri computing the integrals of x n up to degree n = 9 in Cavalieri's quadrature formula.

In numerical analysis, Romberg's method [1] is used to estimate the definite integral by applying Richardson extrapolation [2] repeatedly on the trapezium rule or the rectangle rule (midpoint rule). The estimates generate a triangular array .
For real non-zero values of x, the exponential integral Ei(x) is defined as = =. The Risch algorithm shows that Ei is not an elementary function.The definition above can be used for positive values of x, but the integral has to be understood in terms of the Cauchy principal value due to the singularity of the integrand at zero.
In technical language, integral calculus studies a certain linear operator. The Riemann sum inputs a function and outputs a function, which gives the algebraic sum of areas between the part of the graph of the input and the x-axis. A motivating example is the distances traveled in a given time.
For example, suppose we want to find the integral ∫ 0 ∞ x 2 e − 3 x d x . {\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\infty }x^{2}e^{-3x}\,dx.} Since this is a product of two functions that are simple to integrate separately, repeated integration by parts is certainly one way to evaluate it.
