Like some people said earlier, it's true that integrals are the opposite of derivatives. But you must understand how to do the integrals some advice I can offer you is find someone that understands integrals and that can explain it to you thoroughly b/c you can't learn on your own, someone must expliain it to you. Also if that's not possible for you , then I advise you to go to the following site called www.calc101.com. This site gives you step by step explanations on how to solve any integral that you type in. (I mean it does symbolic interpretations) But you have to pay for membership, I don't think it's expensive either. Check it out and tell me if it helps!

Learning Integrals

Integrals are often difficult. In fact some functions cannot be inegrated by normal methods.
Start with the easy integrals such as the power integral.
Then learn all the different techniques such as u substitution, integration by parts, integration by partial fractions, integration by seriies expansion, etc,etc.
Practice,Practice,Practice. Study,Study,Study.
If stuck get help from your teach or a smart friend.
If you can afford it, get a tutor.
Make sure you understand the basics, or you will soon be overwhelmed.
Try the book Caculus for Dummies. You can read it in the library or a book store.

If you are very comfortable with derivatives then try to link it together. if you integrate something then try to find the derivation of that answer you should get your question back..
As for learning Integrals.... I have the book by James Stewart and I like it a lot. But no matter which book you are using for reference.. if you don't practice then you will never master it.

Integral calculus can be used to: 1. Calculate total change over a time interval when only a rate is known. 2. Find the area of curved solids. 3. In economics, integral calculus is used to find the total consumer surplus, producer surplus, deadweight loss, profit, consumption over time, or anything that can be expressed as an area between curves (price * qty = total value; consumption rate * time = total consumption, demand - supply = total surplus.) 4. Determining the sum of an infinite series. Many other uses.

some are easy, because they're just like derivation (only the other way around)... and that makes learning integrals just like learning how to divide numbers (you can divide numbers because you know how to multiply them, and you can integrate a function because you can derivate other functions).
But some functions, you just have to learn by heart.
have fun ;)

1. get a book with problems and answers explained.
2. practice doing the problems.
3. Look at the answers and try to figure out why.
4. Post your question(s) on Yahoo-Answers
5. Practice, practice, and practice

Try to understand that integrals are the inverse operation of derivatives.
For example,
[sin(x)]' = cos(x)
Then
∫cos(x) dx = sin(x) + c

practice makes perfect.
Search for a clear textbook, with a lot of examples.
