Integral is an important concept in Calculus that can describe various concepts like volume, area, displacement, etc. Integral calculus is exactly the opposite of differential calculus and is an important concept of engineering mathematics. Integral Calculus has many real-life applications in various fields of engineering. Integral Calculus MCQ questions are also asked in the GATE exam under the section of engineering mathematics.

Integral Calculus GATE CS questions are asked in exams of other streams too. GATE EC, GATE ME, etc. exams also ask questions based on Integral Calculus. Read on to know more about the Integral Calculus syllabus for GATE.

Important Integral Calculus Topics for GATE CS

Topic	Explanation
Indefinite Integration	All the anti-derivatives of any function are brought together in a set, forming the indefinite integral of that function. Suppose there is a function named ‘f(x)’, then the indefinite integral of f(x) w.r.t. x is defined as: ∫fxdx=Fx+C where ‘C’ is termed as the constant of integration.
Definite Integration	Definite integration performs integration on any function or constant along with upper and lower limits. It can be used to find the area, displacement, etc. at given intervals. Suppose the area ‘A’ of a function f(x) is defined between the intervals ‘a’ and ‘b’. The area can also be represented as: A = abfxdx
Integral of a Natural Exponential Function	The formula for calculation of integral of a natural exponential function is: ∫ex dx = ex + c
Integral of a General Form Polynomial Function	The integral of a polynomial function in general form is as follows: ∫xnⅆx=xn+1n+1+c If any number ‘k’ is introduced in the polynomial function, then the integral formula will change. A general form of polynomial function can be quadratic, cubic, etc. in terms of the degree of the equation.
