Best all time mathematicians/physicists.
Physics: Maxwell Math: Euler, Gauss But then again, I am not particularly good at either, so how would I really know? There are so many, and each stands on the shoulders of giants who came before.- JustGaussing

Undergrad Does Swapping the Limits of Integration Change the Integral's Sign?
Thank you for your reply (and the integral!). I am confused by the concept of the negative integral where f(x) lies entirely above the x-axis. For example, ∫0pi sin(x) dx = 2 seems to make sense since this half of the sine wave is entirely above the x-axis and the area under the curve...- JustGaussing

Undergrad Does Swapping the Limits of Integration Change the Integral's Sign?
interval from a to b \int f(x) dx = interval from b to a (-)\int f(x) dx Is this correct? Swapping the interval endpoints changes the sign of the integral? It seems like they should be equal. Thanks for the help. By the way, I saw this property here...- JustGaussing
