#H1

Know and use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Fundamental theorem of calculus

#H2

Integrate \(x^n\) (excluding \(n=−1\)), and related sums, differences and constant multiples.

Integrate \(e^{kx}\), \(\frac{1}{x}\), \(\sin{kx}\), \(\cos{kx}\) and related sums, differences and constant multiples.

Integration of standard functions

#H3

Evaluate definite integrals; use a definite integral to find the area under a curve and the area between two curves.

Definite integration Area under and between curves

#H4

Understand and use integration as the limit of a sum.

Integration as the limit of a sum

#H5

Carry out simple cases of integration by substitution and integration by parts; understand these methods as the inverse processes of the chain and product rules respectively.

(Integration by substitution includes finding a suitable substitution and is limited to cases where one substitution will lead to a function which can be integrated; integration by parts includes more than one application of the method but excludes reduction formulae).

Integration by substitution Integration by parts

#H6

Integrate using partial fractions that are linear in the denominator.

Integrate using partial fractions

#H7

Evaluate the analytical solution of simple first order differential equations with separable variables, including finding particular solutions (Separation of variables may require factorisation involving a common factor).

Solve differential equations

#H8

Interpret the solution of a differential equation in the context of solving a problem, including identifying limitations of the solution; includes links to kinematics.
