Integration By Parts Explained

This animation visualizes the integration by parts formula by connecting it to the product rule for derivatives, showing how area under a curve can be reinterpreted through a rectangle-swap diagram. It walks through choosing u and dv, applying the formula step by step, and solving a worked example such as x times e^x. Useful for calculus students learning techniques of integration and teachers introducing this method after substitution.
