− | + | <p>Integration is the inverse operation of differentiation. It is commonly said that differentiation is a science, while integration is an art. The reason is because integration is simply a harder task to do - while a derivative is only concerned with the behavior of a function at a point, an integral, being a glorified sum, requires ''global'' knowledge of the function. So while there are some functions whose integrals can be evaluated using the standard techniques in this article, many more cannot. </p> | |
