Concerns all aspects of integration, including the integral definition and computational methods. For questions solely about the properties of integrals, use in conjunction with (indefinite-integral), (definite-integral), (improper-integrals) or another tag(s) that typically describe(s) the types of the integrals being considered. This tag often goes along with the (calculus) tag.

Need help plugging in bounds in a u-substitution
This is a really basic question but I'm just a little confused. I have this integral: $$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos^3tdt$$
I solved it by doing a u-sub:
$$\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos t(1-\sin^2t)dt$$
Let $u=\sin t$, ...

Evan's statement about integral of the divergence of a vector field.
At the start of Evan;s textbook there is this statement:
How can we conclude 3 from the first equality? Why can't it be that the divergence is positive and negative over the volume in equal ...

Calculating the integeral $\int_0^{\infty}\frac{{(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})}{\cos(cx)}}{x}dx$
I want to calculate:$$\int_0^{\infty}\frac{{(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})}{\cos(cx)}}{x}dx(a,b,c > 0)\tag{1}$$And I want to use:$$\frac{x}{x^2+k^2}=\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-xy}\cos{ky}dy\tag{2}$$So,I want to think:...

Is there any method other than Feynman’s Integration Technique to find $ \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(a \cos ^{2} x+b \sin ^{2} x+c\right) d x?$
We are going to find the formula, by Feynman’s Integration Technique, for
$$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln \left(a \cos ^{2} x+b \sin ^{2} x+c\right) d x,$$
where $a+c$ $\textrm{ and }$ $b+c$ are ...

Non-obvious Trigometric Integral
Prove that for every $\alpha\ge 0$ then
$$\int_0^{\pi/4} (\sin(t)\cos(t))^\alpha(1-(\alpha+2)\cos^2(2t)) = 0$$
This is so non-obvious to me.

Calculation of this integral
$z$ is a positive real number
$$F(z)=\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi} \dfrac{\cos^4(x) \ln(1+z^2 \cos^2(x))}{1+z^2 \cos^2(x)} \, dx$$
In the aim to simplify the calculation , i first make a derivative of $F(z)$ ...

Problem with the integral $\int_0^{+\infty} \frac{t^{m-1}}{1+t^{2n}}{\rm d}t$
I'd like to prove, using a partial fraction decomposition (I don't want to use residue calculus), that
$$\int_0^{+\infty} \frac{t^{m-1}}{1+t^{2n}}{\rm d}t=\frac{\pi}{2n\sin\frac{m\pi}{2n}}$$
where $1\...

Convolution Equation Solving
Solving the equation
$$y'(t)=\sin(5t)-25 \int\limits_{0}^{t} y(u)\,\mathrm du$$
with $y(0)=0$, we obtain the convolution
$$y(t)=\sin(5t)\cdot g(t)$$
For some function $g(t)$. What is the value of $g\...
