Returns an anti-derivative if

lower

and

upper

are

omitted. A symbolic constant of integration such
as

C

is omitted.

However,

lower

is added as a constant of

integration if only

upper

is omitted.

Equally valid anti-derivatives might differ by a
numeric constant. Such a constant might be
disguised—particularly when an anti-derivative
contains logarithms or inverse trigonometric
functions. Moreover, piecewise constant
expressions are sometimes added to make an
anti-derivative valid over a larger interval than
the usual formula.

()

returns itself for pieces of

expression1

that it

cannot determine as an explicit finite
combination of its built-in functions and
operators.

When

lower

and

upper

are both present, an

attempt is made to locate any discontinuities or
discontinuous derivatives in the interval

lower <

var < upper

and to subdivide the interval at those

places.

For the

AUTO

setting of the

Exact/Approx

mode,

numerical integration is used where applicable
when an anti-derivative or a limit cannot be
determined.

For the

APPROX

setting, numerical integration is

tried first, if applicable. Anti-derivatives are
sought only where such numerical integration is
inapplicable or fails.

Integration limits can depend on integration
variables outside them.
