In calculus, integration by substitution, also known as u-substitution, reverse chain rule or change of variables, [1] is a method for evaluating integrals and antiderivatives. It is the counterpart to the chain rule for differentiation , and can loosely be thought of as using the chain rule "backwards."
It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a left shift of 3, D would be replaced by A, E would become B, and so on. [1] The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it in his private correspondence.
Another method of substitution cipher is based on a keyword. All spaces and repeated letters are removed from a word or phrase, which the encoder then uses as the start of the cipher alphabet. The end of the cipher alphabet is the rest of the alphabet in order without repeating the letters in the keyword.
Substitution (logic), a syntactic transformation on strings of symbols of a formal language; String substitution, a mapping of letters in an alphabet to languages; Substitution of a character in a string, one of the single-character edits used to define the Levenshtein distance; Substitution cipher, a method of encryption
In optical fiber technology, the substitution method is a method of measuring the transmission loss of a fiber. It consists of: using a stable optical source, at the wavelength of interest, to drive a mode scrambler, the output of which overfills (drives) a 1 to 2 meter long reference fiber having physical and optical characteristics matching those of the fiber under test,
To make recursive substitution work via guided tour posting, you can use the Delaying Template:subst method described on Meta. An example of recursion in action This is an example using the actual Template:Like , and a hypothetical Template:Foo.
Change of variables is an operation that is related to substitution. However these are different operations, as can be seen when considering differentiation or integration (integration by substitution). A very simple example of a useful variable change can be seen in the problem of finding the roots of the sixth-degree polynomial:
