Indefinite integration

Maple can perform indefinite integration or so-called antidifferentiation. Recall that in indefinite integration, the result is determined to within an unspecified constant. But unlike in math books, Maple omits the constant of integration when doing indefinite integration. This fact must be observed when the constant of integration is important to the solution.

To do indefinite integration in Maple, use the int command:

int(integrand, x)

This command integrates the integrand expression with respect to the variable x. The variable can be whatever you want it to be; it does not need to be x.
