I feel like I am hopeless when it comes to calculus! I am having a very hard time wrapping my head around it and it is affecting my physics mark right now because I need to be able to integrate things and I don't know where to start.

If someone could direct me to a link or another thread that explains integrals and how to do simple ones I would VERY much appreciate it. So far my searches on here haven't given me anything I can use.

Hi Menziesii! Welcome to PF! :smile:

hmm … I think it may be better if you show us some simple integrals you've had problems with, and what you tried, and then we can see where the difficulty is.

For example, can you do things like ∫cosx sin3x dx ? :smile:
 
That link is exactly what I wanted, thanks! Let's see if I can figure it out some then if I'm still having problems (which I expect I will be) I'll post some specific examples!
