Where can I find a long list of clearly solved trig integral problems?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding resources for solving trigonometric integral problems using techniques such as u-substitution, integration by parts, and trigonometric substitution. The "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables" (15th Edition) is highlighted as a valuable resource, offering a large section on integrals and related mathematical tables, although it lacks complete worked examples. Additionally, "Schaum's Outlines" on calculus is recommended for its extensive tables of integrals and examples. Both resources can be found at low prices through platforms like Amazon, eBay, and used book sellers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of u-substitution in integration
  • Familiarity with integration by parts technique
  • Knowledge of trigonometric substitution methods
  • Basic proficiency in calculus concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables" for integral techniques
  • Review "Schaum's Outlines: Calculus" for examples of integrals
  • Practice solving trigonometric integrals using u-substitution
  • Investigate additional resources for worked examples of integration techniques
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in mathematics, particularly those focusing on calculus and integration techniques, as well as anyone seeking to enhance their problem-solving skills in trigonometric integrals.

Homework Statement:: I need to develop my instincts on when to use u-sub, integration-by-parts, trig substitution, etc. But, I need to read/see tons of problems actually being solved with these techniques to know which technique to apply quickly.
Relevant Equations:: Sorry for the vague question.

I've already got access to textbooks, solution banks, Paul's notes, etc.
But, I thought this was still worth asking.

My go-to resource for all kinds of integrals is "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables." A friend gave me a copy (15th Ed.) back in the early 70s. It has a fairly large section on integrals, as well as tables for Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms, and lots of other math-related stuff. The tables don't show complete worked examples, but you can sort of infer what technique is being used by the form of the solutions.

CRC is the Chemical Rubber Co. I don't know if the book is still being published, but you can find used copies for very little if you search on Amazon or eBay or used book sellers such as abe.com.

Another resource that I used to have it Schaum's Outlines. The one on calculus should have lots of tables of integrals and examples.
