              can be bad for you, UV lights.

              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV

              Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays.

                  The U and V class was a class of sixteen destroyers of the Royal Navy launched in 19421943. They were constructed in two flotillas, each with names beginning with "U-" or "V-", although there was a return to pre-war practice of naming the designated flotilla leader after a famous naval figure from history, to honour the lost ships Grenville and Hardy. The flotillas were known as the 7th and 8th Emergency Flotilla, respectively.

                    'u' & 'v'

                    The letter ‘u’ was used interchangeably with the letter ‘v’ in later medieval and early modern times. Simpson, in Scottish Handwriting 1150-1650, reports a tendency in the later Middle Ages to use the letter ‘v’ at the beginning of a word and ‘u’ within a word. For example: the word ‘unused’ might be written ‘vnused’.

                      Guidelines on the choice of u and v
                      1. Whatever we choose for u is going to have to be integrated at the start in order to get the routine moving. We don't want this first stage to be hard. So ask ``What is the largest chunk of the integrand that I can integrate in my head?'' If there is an obvious answer, try taking this chunk for u and letting v be the rest.
                      2. If (1) doesn't give a clear lead, switch your attention to v and ask ``Is there part of the integrand which will simplify on differentiating?'' If so, you have a possible candidate for v.
                      Functions which simplify on differentiating

                      xn for n 1, ln x, arctan x, arcsin x.





                      Example 7..7 I = x sin x dx


                      Solution Both x and sin x can be integrated in your head. However, x simplifies on differentiating, while sin x does not. So take u = sin x and v = x.










                      Example 7..8 I = x arctan x dx


                      Solution Although both components are on the ``simplify on differentiating'' list, x is something we can integrate in our heads, while arctan x is not. So take u = x and v = arctan x. Then



                      u(x) dx = and =


                      Therefore



                      I = arctan x - dx


                      Not home yet, but we have made progress.



                      dx = dx = 1 - dx = dx -











                      Example 7..9 I = sin3x dx


                      Solution Apply the criterion. The largest part of the integrand that you can integrate in your head is sin x. So take this as u, the rest as v and trust to providence. The result is



                      I = - cos x sin2x + 2sin x cos2x dx


                      Again there is still work to do before we get an answer.

                      However, if you put u = cos x into the righthand integral, nice things happen.










                      Example 7..10 I = arctan x dx


                      Solution Another hard one. However, arctan x is still a function we'd be happier differentiating. So think of this as v. If this is v and the whole thing is uv, then u must be 1.

                      Try it and see what happens.










                      Note that integration by parts doesn't always get you all the way to the answer. All it hopes to achieve is to give you an easier integral than the one you started with. How you deal with this easier integral is your problem.
