+Anti-derivatives (integration):
+ A function F(x) is called an anti-derivative of f(x) on some interval I if the mathematical condition is that the derivative of F(x) with respect to x is equal to f(x) for all X on I.
+
+Example:
+ Find the anti-derivative of 2x - [x^2]. If f(x) = 2x, then F(x) = x^2,
+as the derivative of x^2 is 2x. However, x^2 + 1 also derives to 2x. Therefore, F(x) can be equal to x^2 + c. This is "the most general anti-derivative of the function f"
+
+Trig examples:
+1. f(x) = 1/x, F(x) = ln(x) + C
+2. g(x) = sin(kx), G(x) = -cos(kx) / k + C
+3. h(x) = cos(kx), H(x) = sin(kx) / k + C
+4. u(x) = sec^2(kx), U(x) = tan(kx) / k + C
+
+Exponential examples:
+1. f(x) = e^kx, F(x) = e^xk / k + C
+2. g(x) = 5^kx, G(x) = 5^kx / ln(5) + C
+3. h(x) = 1/(1-x^2), H(x) = arcsin(x) + C
+
+For any polynomial x^n, the anti-derivative is (x^n+1) / (n + 1) + C, as long as N != -1
