Integration by Parts: What's the Sign of that Last Term?

[tandoorichicken]

I forgot a little detail in the integration by parts formula
Is it \int u \,dv = uv + or - \int v \,du
I don't remember if its plus or minus...

Just remember that the integration by parts formula is deriviable from the formula for the product of a deriviatives.

d(u * v) = u * dv + v * du.

Now integrate both sides subtract int(v *du). Isn't math woinderful :-)
