If F Is Continuous on [A,B], Then the Function G Defined by G(X) The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1 If f is continuous on [a, b], then the function g defined by Z x g(x) = f (t) dt a ≤ x ≤ b a is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), and g 0(x) = f (x). The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2 If f is continuous on [a, b], then Z b f (x) dx = F (b) − F (a), a where F (x) is any antiderivative of f (x), that is, a function such that F 0(x) = f (x). Application of FTC R 6 1 Example Evaluate 3 x dx. 1 Solution An antiderivative for x is F (x) = ln x. So, by FTC, Z 6 1 dx = F (6) − F (3) = ln 6 − ln 3. 3 x R 3 x Example Evaluate 1 e dx. Solution Note that an antiderivative for ex is F (x) = ex . So, by FTC, Z 3 ex dx = F (3) − F (1) = e3 − e. 1 Example Find area A under the cosine curve π from 0 to b, where 0 ≤ b ≤ 2 . Solution Since an antiderivative of f (x) = cos(x) is F (x) = sin(x), we have Z b b A = cos(x) dx = sin(x) = sin(b)−sin(0) = sin(b). 0 0 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Suppose f is continuous on [a, b]. R x 1. If g(x) = a f (t) dt, then g 0(x) = f (x). R b 2. a f (x) dx = F (b) − F (a), where F (x) is any antiderivative of f (x), that is, F 0(x) = f (x). Notation: Indefinite integral R f (x) dx = F (x) means F 0(x) = f (x). We use the notation R f (x) dx to denote an antiderivative for f (x) and it is called an indefinite integral. A definite integral has the form: Z b Z b f (x) dx = f (x) dx = F (b) − F (a) a a Table of Indefinite Integrals R c · f (x) dx = c · R f (x) dx R [f (x) + g(x)] dx = R f (x) dx + R g(x) dx R k dx = kx + C R n xn+1 x dx = n+1 + C (n =6 −1) R 1 x dx = ln |x| + C R ex dx = ex + C Table of Indefinite Integrals R sin x dx = − cos x + C R cos x dx = sin x + C R sec2 x dx = tan x + C R csc2 x dx = − cot x + C R sec x tan x dx = sec x + C R csc x cot x dx = − csc x + C R 1 −1 x2+1 dx = tan x + C R √ 1 dx = sin−1 x + C 1−x2 R 2 3 3 Example Find 0 2x − 6x + x 2+1 dx and interpret the result in terms of areas.

Find the displacement of the particle during the time period 1 ≤ t ≤ 4. Solution By the Net Change Theorem, the displacement is Z 4 Z 4 s(4) − s(1) = v(t)dt = (t2 − t − 6) dt 1 1 t3 t2 4 9 = − − 6t = − . 3 2 1 2 This means that the particle moved 4.5 m toward the left. Example A particle moves along a line so that its velocity at time t is v(t) = t2 − t − 6 (measured in meters per second). Find the distance traveled during the time period 1 ≤ t ≤ 4. Solution Note that v(t) = t2 − t − 6 = (t − 3)(t + 2) and so v(t) ≤ 0 on the interval [1, 3] and v(t) ≥ 0 on [3, 4]. From the Net Change Theorem, the distance traveled is Z 4 Z 3 Z 4 |v(t)| dt = [−v(t)] dt + v(t) dt 1 1 3 Z 3 Z 4 = (−t2 + t + 6) dt + (t2 − t − 6) dt 1 3 t3 t2 3 t3 t2 4 = − + + 6t + − − 6t 3 2 1 3 2 3 61 = ≈ 10.17m 6 The Substitution Rule The Substitution Rule is one of the main tools used in this class for finding antiderivatives. It comes from the Chain Rule: [F (g(x))]0 = F 0(g(x))g 0(x). So, Z F 0(g(x))g 0(x) dx = F (g(x)). Solution 1. Make the substitution: u = x 4 + 2. 2. Get du = 4x 3 dx. Z Z 1 1 Z x 3 cos(x 4 + 2) dx = cos u · du = cos u du 4 4 1 1 = sin u + C = sin(x 4 + 2) + C. 4 4 Note at the final stage we return to the original variable x. The Substitution Rule The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du.

The Substitution Rule The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. Example Find R x 3 cos(x 4 + 2) dx. Solution 1. Make the substitution: u = x 4 + 2. 2. Get du = 4x 3 dx. Z Z 1 1 Z x 3 cos(x 4 + 2) dx = cos u · du = cos u du 4 4 1 1 = sin u + C = sin(x 4 + 2) + C. 4 4 Note at the final stage we return to the original variable x. du Solution Let u = 2x + 1. Then du = 2 dx, so dx = 2 . Thus, the Substitution Rule gives Z √ Z √ du 1 Z 1 2x + 1 dx = u = u 2 du 2 2 3 1 u 2 1 3 1 3 2 2 = · 3 + C = u + C = (2x + 1) + C. 2 2 3 3 The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. √ Example Evaluate R 2x + 1 dx. The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. √ Example Evaluate R 2x + 1 dx. du Solution Let u = 2x + 1. Then du = 2 dx, so dx = 2 . Thus, the Substitution Rule gives Z √ Z √ du 1 Z 1 2x + 1 dx = u = u 2 du 2 2 3 1 u 2 1 3 1 3 2 2 = · 3 + C = u + C = (2x + 1) + C. 2 2 3 3 1 Solution If we let u = 5x, then du = 5 dx, so dx = 5 du. Therefore Z 1 Z 1 1 e5x dx = eu du = eu + C = e5x + C. 5 5 5 The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. Example Calculate R e5x dx. The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. Example Calculate R e5x dx. 1 Solution If we let u = 5x, then du = 5 dx, so dx = 5 du. Therefore Z 1 Z 1 1 e5x dx = eu du = eu + C = e5x + C. 5 5 5 Solution Z Z sin x tan x dx = dx. cos x This suggests substitution u = cos x, since then du = − sin x dx and so, sin x dx = −du: Z Z sin x Z du tan x dx = dx = − cos x u = − ln |u| + C = − ln | cos x| + C. The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. Example Calculate R tan x dx. The Substitution Rule If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I , then Z Z f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. Example Calculate R tan x dx. Solution Z Z sin x tan x dx = dx. cos x This suggests substitution u = cos x, since then du = − sin x dx and so, sin x dx = −du: Z Z sin x Z du tan x dx = dx = − cos x u = − ln |u| + C = − ln | cos x| + C. The Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals If g 0 is continuous on [a, b] and f is continuous on the range of u = g(x), then Z b Z g(b) f (g(x))g 0(x) dx = f (u) du. a g(a) dx Solution We let u = ln x because its differential du = x occurs in the integral.

    674 MATHEMA TICS: N. H. McCOY PR.OC. N. A. S. ON THE FUNCTION IN QUANTUM MECHANICS WHICH CORRESPONDS TO A GIVEN FUNCTION IN CLASSICAL MECHANICS By NEAL H. MCCoy DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, SMrTH COLLEGE Communicated October 11, 1932 Let f(p,q) denote a function of the canonical variables p,q of classical mechanics. In making the transition to quantum mechanics, the variables p,q are represented by Hermitian operators P,Q which, satisfy the com- mutation rule PQ- Qp = 'y1 (1) where Y = h/2ri and 1 indicates the unit operator. From group theoretic considerations, Weyll has obtained the following general rule for carrying a function over from classical to quantum mechanics. Express f(p,q) as a Fourier integral, f(p,q) = f feiC(r+TQ) r(,r)d(rdT (2) (or in any other way as a linear combination of the functions eW(ffP+T)). Then the function F(P,Q) in quantum mechanics which corresponds to f(p,q) is given by F(P,Q)- ff ei(0P+7Q) t(cr,r)dodr. (3) It is the purpose of this note to obtain an explicit expression for F(P,Q), and although we confine our statements to the case in which f(p,q) is a polynomial, the results remain formally correct for infinite series. Any polynomial G(P,Q) may, by means of relation (1), be written in a form in which all of the Q-factors occur on the left in each term. This form of the function G(P,Q) will be denoted by GQ(P,Q).

  • Section 8.8: Improper Integrals
    Section 8.8: Improper Integrals One of the main applications of integrals is to compute the areas under curves, as you know. A geometric question. But there are some geometric questions which we do not yet know how to do by calculus, even though they appear to have the same form. Consider the curve y = 1=x2. We can ask, what is the area of the region under the curve and right of the line x = 1? We have no reason to believe this area is finite, but let's ask. Now no integral will compute this{we have to integrate over a bounded interval. Nonetheless, we don't want to throw up our hands. So note that b 2 b Z (1=x )dx = ( 1=x) 1 = 1 1=b: 1 − j − In other words, as b gets larger and larger, the area under the curve and above [1; b] gets larger and larger; but note that it gets closer and closer to 1. Thus, our intuition tells us that the area of the region we're interested in is exactly 1. More formally: lim 1 1=b = 1: b − !1 We can rewrite that as b 2 lim Z (1=x )dx: b !1 1 Indeed, in general, if we want to compute the area under y = f(x) and right of the line x = a, we are computing b lim Z f(x)dx: b !1 a ASK: Does this limit always exist? Give some situations where it does not exist. They'll give something that blows up.

  • Antiderivatives and the Area Problem
    Chapter 7 antiderivatives and the area problem Let me begin by defining the terms in the title: 1. an antiderivative of f is another function F such that F 0 = f. 2. the area problem is: ”find the area of a shape in the plane" This chapter is concerned with understanding the area problem and then solving it through the fundamental theorem of calculus(FTC). We begin by discussing antiderivatives. At first glance it is not at all obvious this has to do with the area problem. However, antiderivatives do solve a number of interesting physical problems so we ought to consider them if only for that reason. The beginning of the chapter is devoted to understanding the type of question which an antiderivative solves as well as how to perform a number of basic indefinite integrals. Once all of this is accomplished we then turn to the area problem. To understand the area problem carefully we'll need to think some about the concepts of finite sums, se- quences and limits of sequences. These concepts are quite natural and we will see that the theory for these is easily transferred from some of our earlier work. Once the limit of a sequence and a number of its basic prop- erties are established we then define area and the definite integral. Finally, the remainder of the chapter is devoted to understanding the fundamental theorem of calculus and how it is applied to solve definite integrals. I have attempted to be rigorous in this chapter, however, you should understand that there are superior treatments of integration(Riemann-Stieltjes, Lesbeque etc..) which cover a greater variety of functions in a more logically complete fashion.

  • A Quotient Rule Integration by Parts Formula Jennifer Switkes ([email protected]), California State Polytechnic Univer- Sity, Pomona, CA 91768
    A Quotient Rule Integration by Parts Formula Jennifer Switkes ([email protected]), California State Polytechnic Univer- sity, Pomona, CA 91768 In a recent calculus course, I introduced the technique of Integration by Parts as an integration rule corresponding to the Product Rule for differentiation. I showed my students the standard derivation of the Integration by Parts formula as presented in [1]: By the Product Rule, if f (x) and g(x) are differentiable functions, then d f (x)g(x) = f (x)g(x) + g(x) f (x). dx Integrating on both sides of this equation, f (x)g(x) + g(x) f (x) dx = f (x)g(x), which may be rearranged to obtain f (x)g(x) dx = f (x)g(x) − g(x) f (x) dx. Letting U = f (x) and V = g(x) and observing that dU = f (x) dx and dV = g(x) dx, we obtain the familiar Integration by Parts formula UdV= UV − VdU. (1) My student Victor asked if we could do a similar thing with the Quotient Rule. While the other students thought this was a crazy idea, I was intrigued. Below, I derive a Quotient Rule Integration by Parts formula, apply the resulting integration formula to an example, and discuss reasons why this formula does not appear in calculus texts. By the Quotient Rule, if f (x) and g(x) are differentiable functions, then ( ) ( ) ( ) − ( ) ( ) d f x = g x f x f x g x . dx g(x) [g(x)]2 Integrating both sides of this equation, we get f (x) g(x) f (x) − f (x)g(x) = dx.

  • Two Fundamental Theorems About the Definite Integral
    Two Fundamental Theorems about the Definite Integral These lecture notes develop the theorem Stewart calls The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in section 5.3. The approach I use is slightly different than that used by Stewart, but is based on the same fundamental ideas. 1 The definite integral Recall that the expression b f(x) dx ∫a is called the definite integral of f(x) over the interval [a,b] and stands for the area underneath the curve y = f(x) over the interval [a,b] (with the understanding that areas above the x-axis are considered positive and the areas beneath the axis are considered negative). In today's lecture I am going to prove an important connection between the definite integral and the derivative and use that connection to compute the definite integral. The result that I am eventually going to prove sits at the end of a chain of earlier definitions and intermediate results. 2 Some important facts about continuous functions The first intermediate result we are going to have to prove along the way depends on some definitions and theorems concerning continuous functions. Here are those definitions and theorems. The definition of continuity A function f(x) is continuous at a point x = a if the following hold 1. f(a) exists 2. lim f(x) exists xœa 3. lim f(x) = f(a) xœa 1 A function f(x) is continuous in an interval [a,b] if it is continuous at every point in that interval. The extreme value theorem Let f(x) be a continuous function in an interval [a,b].

  • CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION Definition 1. Let (Ω,F,P)
    CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION 1. CONDITIONAL EXPECTATION: L2 THEORY ¡ Definition 1. Let (­,F ,P) be a probability space and let G be a σ algebra contained in F . For ¡ any real random variable X L2(­,F ,P), define E(X G ) to be the orthogonal projection of X 2 j onto the closed subspace L2(­,G ,P). This definition may seem a bit strange at first, as it seems not to have any connection with the naive definition of conditional probability that you may have learned in elementary prob- ability. However, there is a compelling rationale for Definition 1: the orthogonal projection E(X G ) minimizes the expected squared difference E(X Y )2 among all random variables Y j ¡ 2 L2(­,G ,P), so in a sense it is the best predictor of X based on the information in G . It may be helpful to consider the special case where the σ algebra G is generated by a single random ¡ variable Y , i.e., G σ(Y ). In this case, every G measurable random variable is a Borel function Æ ¡ of Y (exercise!), so E(X G ) is the unique Borel function h(Y ) (up to sets of probability zero) that j minimizes E(X h(Y ))2. The following exercise indicates that the special case where G σ(Y ) ¡ Æ for some real-valued random variable Y is in fact very general. Exercise 1. Show that if G is countably generated (that is, there is some countable collection of set B G such that G is the smallest σ algebra containing all of the sets B ) then there is a j 2 ¡ j G measurable real random variable Y such that G σ(Y ).

  • The Infinite and Contradiction: a History of Mathematical Physics By
    The infinite and contradiction: A history of mathematical physics by dialectical approach Ichiro Ueki January 18, 2021 Abstract The following hypothesis is proposed: \In mathematics, the contradiction involved in the de- velopment of human knowledge is included in the form of the infinite.” To prove this hypothesis, the author tries to find what sorts of the infinite in mathematics were used to represent the con- tradictions involved in some revolutions in mathematical physics, and concludes \the contradiction involved in mathematical description of motion was represented with the infinite within recursive (computable) set level by early Newtonian mechanics; and then the contradiction to describe discon- tinuous phenomena with continuous functions and contradictions about \ether" were represented with the infinite higher than the recursive set level, namely of arithmetical set level in second or- der arithmetic (ordinary mathematics), by mechanics of continuous bodies and field theory; and subsequently the contradiction appeared in macroscopic physics applied to microscopic phenomena were represented with the further higher infinite in third or higher order arithmetic (set-theoretic mathematics), by quantum mechanics". 1 Introduction Contradictions found in set theory from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th, gave a shock called \a crisis of mathematics" to the world of mathematicians. One of the contradictions was reported by B. Russel: \Let w be the class [set]1 of all classes which are not members of themselves. Then whatever class x may be, 'x is a w' is equivalent to 'x is not an x'. Hence, giving to x the value w, 'w is a w' is equivalent to 'w is not a w'."[52] Russel described the crisis in 1959: I was led to this contradiction by Cantor's proof that there is no greatest cardinal number.
