    • Which technique? – integration techniques by the form of the integrand, convergence tests for series, and methods for limits and multivariable integrals.

    • Useful tricks – tabular integration by parts, the Maclaurin series of \(1/(1-x)\), \(e^x\), \(\cos x\), \(\sin x\), \(\ln(1+x)\), and \(\arctan x\) with their intervals of validity, and the sums \(\sum_n n^kx^n\).

    • Counterexamples – counterexamples to false statements in analysis and algebra.

    • Worked exams – UGA prelims, one page per exam.

    • Problems – the Berkeley and UCLA exam archives and an integral practice sheet.

    • Resources.
