Integration by parts

Integration by parts is like IB Math’s version of a good breakup: you start with a hot mess but, after splitting apart, everything falls back in place (hopefully). The trick is knowing who to select to be your u and to be your dv. Pick wisely and the mess untangles beautifully. Pick wrong and, well, you’ll be stuck in algebraic therapy for hours. Once you get the hang of it, integration by parts feels less like heartbreak and more like magic.
