Session 75: Advanced Partial Fractions

OCW Scholar

« Previous | Next »

 

Overview

Last session we learned to use partial fractions to integrate rational functions for which the degree of the numerator was less than the degree of the denominator, and where the denominator had particularly nice factors. In this session we learn how to use partial fractions under more adverse conditions.
