Can anyone list some useful tricks for calculus and vector calculus.

i.e. sneaky substitutions, changing limits of integration when changing coordinate systems, parametrization of curves, surfaces, and volumes etc.

The really useful "trick" is understanding!
 
What about changing limits of integration when changing coordinate systems, parametrization of curves, surfaces, and volumes?
 
Does anyone know any useful vector calculus tricks?
