I know that there is a clear difference between Integration by Parts and Partial Integration. However i dont seem to get it. I know that integration by parts is ---integral u dv = uv - integral v du---. But is partial integration like Integration by partial fraction where you split the fraction into two parts to make integration easier or is it something completly different?

I don't recall the term "partial integration", except that I think I saw it used in a question here on Yahoo Answers by someone who obviously meant integration by partial fractions. I suspect it's just an abbreviation of that term -- and a rather confusing abbreviation. I wouldn't use it.

Integration by Parts and Partial Integration are the same thing, no? But yes, that is the integral udv = dv - integral vdu
Integration by Partial Fractions is when you split the expression by the denominator, then finding the constant numerators to make the expression work.
That's just using the terms I learned.
