ABSTRACT

Standard integration Engineering is all about problem solving and many problems in engineering can be solved using calculus. Physicists, chemists, engineers, and many other scientific and technical specialists use calculus in their everyday work; it is a technique of fundamental importance. Both integration and differentiation have numerous applications in engineering and science and some typical examples include determining areas, mean and rms values, volumes of solids of revolution, centroids, second moments of area, differential equations and Fourier series. Besides the standard integrals covered in this chapter, there are a number of other methods of integration covered in future chapters. For any further studies in engineering, differential and integral calculus are unavoidable.
