A Wikibookian suggests that Solving Integrals by Trigonometric substitution be merged into this book or chapter. Discuss whether or not this merger should happen on the discussion page.

Mathematics is a universal study. It can be studied for its own sake as pure mathematics, or it can be applied to the natural world and to humanity as in the study of statistics. In the natural world, the nautilus shell presents one of the finest natural examples of a logarithmic spiral.

Mission

We at the Wikibook of Calculus aim to write a quality textbook to facilitate mastering the topics of differentiation, integration, infinite series, conics, and parametric and polar equations. Please contribute wherever you feel the need.
