==Proving Integration by Parts==
The proof for Integration by Parts is simple and important.
Given:
<br />
<math>f(x)g(x)</math>
<br />
It is known from the [[Product rule]] that:
<br />
<math>(f(x)g(x))' = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)</math>
<br />
If both sides are integrated:
<br />
<math>f(x)g(x) = \int f'(x)g(x) + \int f(x)g'(x)</math>
<br />
By rearranging the terms:
<br />
<math>\int f(x)g'(x) = f(x)g(x) - \int f'(x)g(x)</math>
