Integration by Parts is a special method of integration that is often useful when two functions
are multiplied together, but is also helpful in other ways.
You will see plenty of examples soon, but first let us see the rule:
As a diagram:
u=x
v = cos(x)

Choose u and v
Differentiate u: u'
Integrate v: ∫v dx
Put u, u' and ∫v dx into: u∫v dx −∫u' (∫v dx) dx
Simplify and solve

u=x
v = ex
Differentiate u: (x)' = 1
Integrate v: ∫ex dx = ex
Now put it together:

Choose a u that gets simpler when you differentiate it and a v that doesn't get any
more complicated when you integrate it.
A helpful rule of thumb is I LATE. Choose u based on which of these comes first:
u = sin(x)
v = ex
Integrate v: ∫ex dx = ex
Now put it together:
Looks worse, but let us persist! We can use integration by parts again:
Choose u and v:

u = cos(x)
v = ex
Integrate v: ∫ex dx = ex
Now put it together:
... so bring the right hand one over to the left and we get:
Simplify:
∫uv' dx = uv − ∫u'v dx
Some people prefer that last form, but I like to integrate v' so the left side is
simple:
