Returns an anti-derivative if

lower

and

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.
