Integration is often a fairly arduous maths exercise, and we are prone to making silly algebra errors when doing them. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had an easy way of checking our solutions?

Checking integrals, especially indefinite integrals, is not always a straightforward thing to do on a handheld calculator. Fortunately, there are some cool tricks that allow us to do just that—making our calculator an integral part of working with integrals.

These techniques are the key to preventing silly integration errors and the key to getting 100% on your undergraduate calculus exams.
