A better technique would be to use the SDI Method. In this method, it’s similar to DI method. But S, stands for sign. That is +, -, +, -. Instead of just blindly putting the +, -, +, -. The sign has just as much significance as differentiating and integrating.

[@stephenbeck7222]

DI method is just the table version of the uv-int(vdu) formula. In math, a formula is already a shortcut and a table is just an organizational tool of the formula. If you use one, you can use the other. I don’t know why people hate on a table.

I am a big advocate of this tabular method. After all, we use shortcuts all the time in calculus; and if we ever want to know "the reason it works" just examine the principal definitions. For example, if a professor bans the DI method, then why are derivative shortcuts allowed? I mean, imagine you can't use d(sin x)/dx = cos x but you have to use the principle every time. Maybe even prove the limit. That's nuts! I think that the beauty of math comes in the simplicity of concepts.

Thanks for this instructive and concise video and for advocating the DI method! If I had to name the one content of all your maths videos which I am most grateful of, I would definitely pick the DI method. I am 59 yr old, I've got a Ph. D. in physics, but I always felt uncomfortable when I had to apply integration by parts. Oh I hated the needless introduction of new variables u and v, juggling with differentials du and dv, keeping track of the minus signs etc. The DI setup avoids all these obstacles and provides an easy way to actually apply IBT. When it comes to solving a specific integral, I don't need a mathematically sophisticated formula but rather an applicable and practicable setup that makes things easy for me. So you've got my full support for your campaign to spread the word about the DI method!

[@blackpenredpen]

I am very happy to hear this and thank you very much!!

[@purple_sky]

At school we learned a method for choosing u and dv, we called it "LATE for u". LATE is an acronym that stands for Logs, Algebra, Trig, Exponential, and this is the order of preference for u (assuming both parts of your function fall into these categories, which they generally do)! Algebra means polynomials (allowing real exponents), rational functions, etc - any combination of ax^n terms. How it works for your examples: (x^2)lnx x^2 is Algebra and lnx is Logs. L comes before A in LATE, so we choose lnx for u. (x^2)cosx x^2 is Algebra and cosx is Trig. A comes before T in LATE, so we choose x^2 for u. I think this is a really great technique, I've never had to think about which to choose for u since learning this, so I recommend teaching it so it can help more people!

So I didn’t learn this method.. . I organically came up with it because I had to integrate by parts in math, physics and engr classes. I noticed a pattern and then I thought it was clever and started using it. Took me a few years to hear someone else call it tabular method or DI method. And then those people would use it and tell me that it sometimes doesn’t work… and I was like ohhh they think it’s not integration by parts so they don’t understand how to stop it and exit (like with e^x sin x) . So I can see that some people choose to lean on it without thinking too much about it. I always thought of it as an organization method, much like synthetic division of polynomials is just organized division in a neater way.

As a math teacher, and a certified Master of Math, I usually think all these "new and revolutionary methods" are mostly silly and/or a waste of energy to learn and teach. But not this one. This one I like. It may not be the best way to introduce integration by parts. I'm a firm believer in learning the shortcuts by doing it the hard way a few times first. And also, this method adds one additional layer of abstraction on top of something that is already a bit difficult for many to wrap their head around; the students would be one more step removed from the actual problem they want to solve as they write. But it sure as heck makes it a lot easier to keep all the signs and everything organized the moment you need more than one round of IBP. I'm gonna steal this. And if I don't get around to teaching it, at least I can use it myself.

[@leozhang6910]

I learned this method when learning about the integral from 0 to infinity of x^n*(e^(-cx)) = n!/c^(n+1).

However, when multiple steps of integration by parts are required, the D/I method is definitely faster. It's valuable to learn both.

An interesting way. But it would not work with I=integration(exp(x)·cos(x)·dx), but it is possible to handle an equation like 2·I = ... that must be explained to people so that they do not get lost themselves with that method.

[@carultch]

It does work. You just need to know which of the stops to use. In this case, it's a looper stop. You stop when you recognize a constant multiple (other than +1) of the original integral across a row. If you end up with a constant multiple of the original integral (I) that is +1*I, then you cannot use IBP. It could mean that you went too far, and had a previous opportunity where the multiplier was -1. Or it means that you never had to touch IBP in the first place, because the functions can be regrouped and integrated without IBP. One such example is e^x * cosh(x). Here's how it works for your example: S _ _ _ D _ _ _ I + _ _ _ e^x _ _ cos(x) - _ _ _ e^x _ _ sin(x) + _ _ _ e^x _ _ -cos(x) IBP result: e^x * [sin(x) + cos(x)] - integral e^x * cos(x) dx Constant multiple of original integral, solve for it algebraically: I = e^x * [sin(x) + cos(x)] - I 2*I = e^x * [sin(x) + cos(x)] I = e^x * [sin(x) + cos(x)]/2 Add +C, and we're done: 1/2*e^x * [sin(x) + cos(x)] + C

[@theprimegames9479]

I would like to point ou that D I + u dv - du v + d^2 u integral(v dv) - d^3 u integral( integral(v dv) dv) + d^4 u integral(integral(integral(v dv)dv)dv) and so on and on and on. Works because each time your integral of v du requires integration by parts, you just add "another" uv and subtract by another integral of the new vdu (take note that both of them are being multiplied by -1, that's the reason for the "plus, minus, plus, minus, ...") and you can repeat this process as long as you need.

I love the DI method. I think it's important for students to be able to see the link between the DI method and just iterating the differentiation by parts formulae. Imagine trying to solve an integral where it's not immediately obvious that you should do 1 or more iterations of integration by parts, then not being able to visualize the multiple iterations using the DI method (Which you can just do in your head) will make it so much harder to figure out that you need to use integration by parts. Perhaps an example might be something like sec^3x. It *might* not be obvious that you can integrate sec^3x by parts, but with the DI method you can quickly visualize the results. you're basically just left with an integral of secx, which there's a well-known trick that trivializes it.

I never called it "DI" method, and still used u and dv, but used the crossing rows with alternating signs. I think calling them D and I might have helped in my calc II I took last semester!

I love you stevey chow

Electrical engineering 2nd semester rn. In highschool we used u dv for integration by parts. However, last semester in uni I took a math class which included calc1 revision and calc2 and we were told that it's faster to have one of the functions inside the differential (by integrating it) and not have to set u and dv...

When I learned the integration by parts more than 20 years ago I disliked a lot the preparation of the u and v terms and the mnemotechnic rule that arranges them. I figured out a more practical mnemotechnic rule of my own: "IMID". It consists of pairs of Integrated&Maintained and Integrated&Derived (the last subtracted and into an integral), which is pretty similar to what is tabulated here. I just avoided the column arrangement. Now that I see the term that is maintained in the D column it can be argued that the first row corresponds to a derivative of order zero, so it belongs there nicely. The formula tells you why and how there is a part that needs to be integrated and another to be derived, but what is needed is a method that makes you aware of these two operations everytime. Thus, a method that tells you that clearly is preferable and faster to a method that makes you adapt to a formulation, no matter how equivalent they are

Sir today is my mathematics paper I watch your videos regularly I am in 9th grade our school has terminated trigonometry in 9th but also I watch your videos

[@StephenMarkTurner]

I learned IBP in the 70s, but only learned of this technique a few years ago from one of your videos. Yay University of Waterloo :-)

I've a good problem for you on integrals. *Consider the two integrals whose lower bounds are 0 and Upper Bounds are a.* First integral: (a^2-x^2)^k x^n Second Integral: x^n/(a^2-x^2)^(1-k) a is a constant. Find the value of "a" Such that both the integrals are equal. And yes, a is not 0.

First problem: Given: integral (a^2 - x^2)^k*x^n dx Let A = a^x, and let X = x^2. Thus: (A - X)^k * x^n Expand (A - X)^k, by setting up a summation. Let j be the indexing variable of this summation, that starts at j=0, and ends at j=k. Write an expression for the jth term of this expansion. Exponents for X, will equal j. Exponents for A will equal (k-j). All X-terms will have an alternator out in front, of (-1)^j. Thus, the jth term is: (-1)^j * A^(k - j) * X^j We're summing this from j to k. Recall how we defined A and X: (-1)^j * a^(2k - 2j) * x^(2j) Now apply the x^n term, to build the jth term of the original integrand: (-1)^j * a^(2k - 2j) * x^(2j + n) The alternator and a-terms are just constants, which we can call Kj. This means, all we have to integrate is: Kj * x^(2j + n) Applying the power rule, we get: Kj/(2j + n + 1) * x^(2j + n + 1) Recall Kj, and we have the general jth term of our summation: (-1)^j * a^(2k - 2j) /(2j + n + 1) * x^(2j + n + 1) In general for the power rule, when m is a positive integer, the integral of x^m from 0 to b becomes 1/(m + 1)*b^(m+1). Since the upper limit of integration is just a in the original problem, this means we can replace x with a. (-1)^j * a^(2k - 2j) /(2j + n + 1) * a^(2j + n + 1) Combine exponents and simplify: (-1)^j / (2j + n + 1) * a^(2k - 2j + 2j + n + 1) (-1)^j / (2j + n + 1) * a^(2k + n + 1) The result becomes the following summation, from j=0 to j=k: sum (-1)^j / (2j + n + 1) * a^(2k + n + 1)

our professor told us that we can't use this method, so I gave him this video and ow he taught us this method

[@ashfaakaalam8401]

I literally solved a lot of integrals using both the methods to convince myself that the D-I method is legit and when i was convinced i was enlightened .Thanks A Lot for this trick it saves a lot of time🤩
