Students have the option of purchasing the text in a variety of formats. MATH 2A/2B: Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, 8th edition or UCI Custom Edition, 8th edition.

Please consult your instructor's syllabus and course webpage for more complete details about your particular section. This website provides information and resources for the UCI Calculus courses, Math 2A and Math 2B. We now are using WebAssign by Cengage as our homework management system. By purchasing your WebAssign account you get an ebook of our textbook:Ĭalculus: Early Transcendentals, 9th Edition by James Stewart Daniel K. So, please ignore the reference to the 8th edition of Stewart and Webwork below. Note: Starting in Fall 2020, the Textbook and Homework Management System (Webwork) mentioned below have been replaced.

There are also right triangles you can draw to make the connections between x, a, and θ. In each line, the last entry follows from the second entry by one of the Pythagorean identities. X2 − a2 x = a sec θ dx = a sec θ tan θ dθ Here’s a table summarizing the substitution to make in each of the three kinds. The substitution will simplify the integrand since it will eliminate the square root. Kind you substitute for x a certain trig function of a new variable θ. You use them when you see as part of the integrand one of the expressions

For these, you start out with an integral that doesn’t have any trig functions in them, but you introduce trig functions to evaluate the integrals. They’re special kinds of substitution that involves these functions. Now that we have trig functions and their inverses, we can use trig subs.
