Integration can be addressed as the reverse process of differentiation. That is why it is also called the 'Inverse Differentiation'. In differential calculus, primary focus is given to rate of change, slope of tangent lines and velocities; but in integral calculus primary focus is given to total size or values, e.g. areas, lengths and volumes. Integral calculus is based on finding the integrals.

Integral Calculus 

[Click Here for Previous Year Questions]

Integral calculus is a branch of calculus that deals with the theory and applications of integrals. Integration is the process of finding integrals. The anti-derivatives of a function can be discovered using integral calculus.
Integral calculus deals with total values, such as lengths, areas, and volumes. A few equations with supplied data can have approximations of solutions found using the integral.

There are two types of integration used in integral calculus:

  • Indefinite Integrals
  • Definite Integrals

The integral for a function at any point on the graph is found using integration. It is an algebraic method. The integral comes from solving the area problem. 

Let us assume that F(a) is an anti - derivative of f(a), so F(a) is such that 

F'(a) = f(a)

The integral of a function f(x) with respect to variable x is given by F(x) and it is represented by, 

∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + C

Here,

  • F(x) + c = integral of f(x) concerning x.
  • x is the variable of integration. 
  • F(x) is named as anti - derivative or primitive. 
  • f(x) is called the integrand. 
  • C is called the constant of integration, and
  • dx is called the integrating agent.
