Solving a definite integral usually has two main steps: [[integration]] and [[subtraction]].

Sometimes approximations, such as the [[Riemann Integral]] or [[Simpson's rule]] are used. These approximations are used when:
+
*The exact answer is not needed, only a close approximation. (Common in [[Engineering]])
+
*The rule for integration is very complex. (Such as <math>\int e^{x^2}\,dx</math>)
+
*The rule for integration is simply unknown. (Such as <math>\int \zeta(x)\,dx</math>, the [[Zeta function]])
