Question
Hi Alon, I like Math and am trying to learn integration beyond the English A levels.  However, I get so frustrated that unlike differentiation, integration requires so many techniques: There seems to be an infinite number of integral types, specially when you move to higher powers. I wonder, is there an easier way to learn integration?  Do we have no choice but to memorize scores and scores of techniques?  Sorry about the long question. Thank you. Bye.

Answer
Hello Riaz ,
Yes the integration territory is very large one & requires lots of
techniques. It begins by getting familiar with basic immediate
table of integrals, & ends with developing sense of knowing which
substitution should be make & when. Its all a matter of exercising.
The more questions you solve , the more experienced you will be.
Good luck, & I'm here for any problem or any annoying exercise !

Alon.
