In some special cases the integral can be simplified by
Substituting sin x = t if I = ∫ R ( sin x ) cos xdx
Substituting cos x = t if I = ∫ R ( cos x ) sin xdx
Substituting tan x = t if I = ∫ R ( tan x ) dx
Substituting tan x = t , if R ( − sin x, − cos x ) = R ( sin x, cos x )
Substituting cos x = t if R ( − sin x, cos x ) = − R ( sin x, cos x )
Substituting sin x = t if R ( sin x, − cos x ) = − R ( sin x, cos x )

p[roper fraction if the degree of numerator is less than that of its denominator,
otherwise it is called an improper fraction.
