#2117: Differentiation and Integration explain
[Two flow charts are shown.]
[The first flow chart has four steps in simple order, one with multiple recommendations.]
DIFFERENTIATION
Start
Try applying
Chain Rule
Power Rule
Quotient Rule
Product Rule
Etc.
Done?
No [Arrow returns to “Try applying” step.]
Yes
Done!
[The second flow chart begins like the first, then descends into chaos.]
INTEGRATION
Start
Try applying
Integration by Parts
Substitution
Done?
Haha, Nope!
[Chaos, Roughly from left to right, top to bottom, direction arrows not included.]
Cauchy’s Formula
????
???!?
???
???
?
Partial Fractions
??
?
Install Mathematica
?
Riemann Integration
Stokes’ Theorem
???
?
Risch Algorithm
???
[Sad face.]
?????
???
What the heck is a Bessel Function??
Phone calls to mathematicians
Oh No
Burn the Evidence
[More arrows pointing out of the image to suggest more steps.]
