Calculus.
- Provide examples illustrating the computation of definite integrals and finding areas bounded
by curves.

**2. Techniques of Integration:**


- Introduce techniques for evaluating integrals, including substitution, integration by parts, and
trigonometric integrals.
- Discuss strategies for choosing appropriate integration techniques.
- Provide examples demonstrating the application of various integration techniques to solve
integrals.
