SUMMARY
The integral transformation discussed is a standard application of the change of variables technique in calculus. Specifically, the equation presented is ∫ f(a(t)) dt = ∫ f(a) (dt/da) da, which illustrates how to rewrite an integral by substituting a new variable. This method is essential for simplifying integrals and is widely used in various fields, including physics and engineering. The reference provided leads to a lecture on cosmology that further elaborates on this concept.
