Manipulating Integrals in Symbolic Form
When Mathematica cannot give you an explicit result for an integral, it leaves the integral in a symbolic form. It is often useful to manipulate this symbolic form.
Mathematica cannot give an explicit result for this integral, so it leaves the integral in symbolic form.
| Out[1]= |  |
Differentiating the symbolic form gives the integrand back again.
| Out[2]= |  |
Here is a definite integral which cannot be done explicitly.
| Out[3]= |  |
This gives the derivative of the definite integral.
| Out[4]= |  |
Here is a definite integral with end points that do not explicitly depend on

.
| Out[5]= |  |
The partial derivative of this with respect to

is zero.
| Out[6]= |  |
There is a non-trivial total derivative, however.
| Out[7]= |  |
