Integration by Parts

Integration by parts is part of the Further integration topic in NSW Year 12 Mathematics Extension 2 (NESA outcome ME2-12-04). This subtopic derives and applies the integration by parts method, which reverses the product rule to integrate a product of two functions.

Students and teachers will cover how to choose the parts, evaluate indefinite and definite integrals, and handle problems where more than one application of integration by parts is required — an essential technique for the HSC Extension 2 course.
