The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of trigonometric functions. For antiderivatives involving both exponential and trigonometric functions, see List of integrals of exponential functions. For a complete list of antiderivative functions, see Lists of integrals.
These identities are useful whenever expressions involving trigonometric functions need to be simplified. An important application is the integration of non-trigonometric functions: a common technique involves first using the substitution rule with a trigonometric function, and then simplifying the resulting integral with a trigonometric identity.
The substitution is described in most integral calculus textbooks since the late 19th century, usually without any special name. [5] It is known in Russia as the universal trigonometric substitution , [ 6 ] and also known by variant names such as half-tangent substitution or half-angle substitution .
Integral sine in the complex plane, plotted with a variant of domain coloring. Integral cosine in the complex plane. Note the branch cut along the negative real axis. In mathematics, trigonometric integrals are a family of nonelementary integrals involving trigonometric functions.
Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus.While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful.
A line integral (sometimes called a path integral) is an integral where the function to be integrated is evaluated along a curve. [42] Various different line integrals are in use. In the case of a closed curve it is also called a contour integral. The function to be integrated may be a scalar field or a vector field.
For a definite integral, the bounds change once the substitution is performed and are determined using the equation = , with values in the range < <. Alternatively, apply the boundary terms directly to the formula for the antiderivative.
The inverse tangent integral is a special function, defined by: Ti 2 ( x ) = ∫ 0 x arctan t t d t {\displaystyle \operatorname {Ti} _{2}(x)=\int _{0}^{x}{\frac {\arctan t}{t}}\,dt} Equivalently, it can be defined by a power series , or in terms of the dilogarithm , a closely related special function.
