Integration Techniques
No silver bullet. Here is the review of basic integration techniques, together with some of the challenging problems presented at University of North Texas Integration Bee. You will see that even computer algebra systems such as Maple and Mathematica are not tough enough to complete them. Nevertheless, you could outperform smart software with the basic techniques we have learned.
