Definitions

adj

1

Constituting a whole together with other parts or factors; not omittable or removable.

Ceasing to do evil, and doing good, are the two great integral parts that complete this duty.

2

Of, pertaining to, or being an integer.

3

Relating to integration (“the process of finding the integral [noun] of a function”).

4

Being the root of some monic polynomial in A.

5

Whole; undamaged.

A local motion keepeth bodies integral.

noun

1

One of the two fundamental operations of calculus (the other being differentiation), whereby a function's displacement, area, volume, or other qualities arising from the study of infinitesimal change are quantified, usually defined as a lim

The integral of a univariate real-valued function is the area under its curve; but be warned! Not all functions are integrable!

2

One of the two fundamental operations of calculus (the other being differentiation), whereby a function's displacement, area, volume, or other qualities arising from the study of infinitesimal change are quantified, usually defined as a lim

3

A definite integral: the result of the application of such an operation onto a function and a suitable subset of the function's domain: either a number or positive or negative infinity. In the former case, the integral is said to be finite

The integral of #92;frac#123;1#125;#123;x#125; on #91;#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;,1#93; is #92;ln(2), but the integral of the same function on (0,1#93; diverges. In notation, #92;int#95;#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;¹#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;x#125;dx#61;#92;ln(2), but #92;int#95;0¹#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;x#125;dx#61;#92;infty.

Stokes' theorem relates the integral over a surface of the curl of a vector field to a line integral around the boundary of that surface: #92;int#95;S#92;nabla#92;times#92;mathbf#123;F#125;#92;cdotd#92;mathbf#123;S#125;#61;#92;int#95;#123;#92;partialS#125;#92;mathbf#123;F#125;#92;cdotd#92;mathbf#123;r#125;,.

4

An indefinite integral: the result of the application of such an operation onto a function together with an indefinite domain, yielding a function; a function's antiderivative;

The integral of x² is #92;frac#123;x³#125;#123;3#125; plus a constant.

5

An indefinite integral: the result of the application of such an operation onto a function together with an indefinite domain, yielding a function; a function's antiderivative;
