Talk:Lists of integrals

ya, now we have to post formulas twice.

[edit] CRC Math Tables

My 25th ed. of the CRC Standard Math Tables is clearly authored by William H. Beyer and not Daniel Zwillinger. Should this be mentioned in the references section? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 15:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need Integral

I would like to know the integral for finding the volume of a section of a cylinder, such as a tank containing a liquid. (If I have a tank r=48" and length=96" and I want to know how many gallons are in the tank at say 20" deep).

If it's a cylinder then you don't need an integral, just use the area of a cylinder formula.RageGarden 05:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of definite integrals?

Hi,what about adding another section - list of definite integrals? I think it would be very helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.231.80.128 (talk) 07:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC).

But definite integrals are the same as the indefinite integrals without the C...RageGarden 03:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I imagine they may be asking about definite integrals for which the integrand has no closed-form antiderivative. Offhand, I don't know how useful such a collection would be. Doctormatt 04:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

The merge tag has been there since Jan 07, with no discussion.

I support the merge as it would put the most common integral which many people will be looking for in an easy to find place. --Salix alba (talk) 18:30, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Ditto for me. I intuitively searched for "tables of common integrals" first, as I was an old CRC bible user. The keyword "table" should force a redirection to the "lists" page. The most commonly needed integrals could be prominently placed. --MxBuck 16:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what it was like in January 07 but I like the list as it stands right now. Sometimes you want the list of other lists and sometimes you want the whole page.

The merge makes good sense. Same content, same page. That's how encyclopedias work, right? (kaesle) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.32.181 (talk) 18:39, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I also support a merge; especially as part of the Calculus template, the Integrals list contrasts with the Derivatives table. I think the tables should link to the pages on the "list" page as a "For more information" thing, and have the additional content at the end. King 07:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Merge Completed. --ShakataGaNai (talk) 08:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proofs

If there was anyone interested, something that I think would be neat would be to be able to click on any of the formulas from the list of integrals and get redirected to another page with the proof on it. It would be a lot of work, but if someone really liked math, or was bored enough, they could do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArthurJohnJones (talk • contribs) 20:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Links to sosmathematics and eqworld

On the eqworld site whenever you click a integral group from the list it just links to the sosmathematics page, i was just wondering if you knew this and weather both links are needed

[edit] Inverse trig function consistency

I noticed sometimes arc* is used and sometimes *^-1 is used. Is there a particular reason for this? --Snaxe/fow (talk) 16:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
