Indefinite integral

An indefinite integral, or antiderivative, is an integral without upper and lower limits.
There is an infinite number of antiderivatives for a given function, because each indefinite integral can have an arbitrary constant added to it which disappears upon integration. However, the fundamental theorem of calculus relates a definite integral to an indefinite integral by taking its value at the boundary points.
