Abstract
Integral Calculus and Indefinite Integrals Integration represents the inverse operation of differentiation in the following sense: While differentiation calculates the derivative function f′(x) of a given function f(x), integration determines a function whose derivative f′(x) is previously given. This process does not have a unique result, so it leads to the notion of an indefinite integral.
