This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - How to properly select 'u' for u-substitution by finding a function whose derivative is also in the integrand. - To apply the LIATE mnemonic (Log, Inverse, Algebraic, Trig, Exponential) to correctly choose 'u' for integration by parts. - The critical exam strategy of always checking the NCEES Reference Handbook for common integral forms before attempting other methods. - Common exam traps like mishandling limits of integration in definite integrals and sign errors in the integration by parts formula. - That a definite integral is fundamentally asking for the net area under a curve between two points.
