Seeking Advanced Differentiation & Integration Books

In summary, the conversation is about finding a book on derivatives and integration that offers more techniques and manipulations than traditional first-year calculus books. However, it is mentioned that one does not necessarily need a book like this as practicing and repetition is key in mastering these concepts. Additionally, it is noted that the derivative and integral are considered "direct" and "inverse" problems, respectively, and that the latter requires more techniques. It is recommended to practice with a standard calculus textbook instead of seeking out a specialized book on techniques.

I wonder if anyone here knows any DERIVATIVE or differentiation book such as “Exercises in Integration” by Claude George, Springer-Verlag. Any advance would be appreciated.

Actually, I am looking for MORE techniques, manipulations, etc, on INTEGRATION and DERIVATIVE that could not be found on many FIRST-YEAR Calculus book such as Stewart, Varberg, Giordano, etc. Maybe I could find the techniques, manipulations, etc, that suitable with my taste. Any advance would be much appreciated.

You don't really need a book like that, and I doubt one exists. With derivatives, you just sit down and do them. No real cleverness is required.

That is another example of what was referred to in a different thread as "direct" and "inverse" problems. We have a direct formula definition of the derivative and so, as musicheck said, "you just sit down and do them". The integral, or anti-derivative, typically is defined as the "inverse" of the derivative and so requires a lot of more or less related "techniques".

My suggestion is to take your Stewart textbook, and do all the derivatives. After about 50, you should fine that it's really repetitive and that's why they never wrote a book about techniques.
