The forum discussion centers on an integration shortcut reportedly taught in China, which remains unnamed. A user suggests that the claim of exclusivity to China is likely unfounded and proposes the technique of differentiating the integrand with respect to a constant, a method associated with physicist Richard Feynman. This method is distinct from path integrals, another technique linked to Feynman. Additionally, the concept of Tabular Integration is mentioned as a potential related technique.
PREREQUISITESStudents, educators, and mathematicians interested in advanced integration techniques and their historical context, particularly those exploring unique methods taught in different educational systems.

The doctors friend showed him an integration shortcut apparently taught in china. Only problem is I can't remember the name of this "shortcut" for the life of me. Any ideas of what it could be?

No, it doesn't.Stephen Tashi said:(I don't think this has anything to do with path integrals, another technique that he was famous for.)
