I'm translating the topics of the Maths applicated to the social sciences for my Maths teacher, and as I don't know the subject yet "integrales inmediatas" I can't do a search on the internet nor can I decide which one it is and how it is said in English. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I believe that is "immediate integrals".

Yes you are right, I have done a search but I didn't see something like this, so I gave up thinking that it might be directly immediate integrals.. Thanks :) - culé, Dec 4, 2010

Answer 2

I think they just call them 'indefinite integrals', but you might want to wait for a native speaker to chime in.

Thanks, well yes I'm not sure, but the link that dogwood has given seems true enough... - culé, Dec 4, 2010

If you notice, that link refers to a document hosted in a Spanish university website :) So it could well be that a Spaniard with limited knowledge decided to translate 'inmediatas' as 'immediate' - bill1111, Dec 4, 2010

Haha yes I didn't notice that :) Well yes then we need to wait for someone native.. :) - culé, Dec 4, 2010

Yes they are called indefinte integrals and "immediate integrals" is not used in English. Integral tables usually contain both definite and indefinite integrals. - lorenzo9, Dec 4, 2010

Answer 3

I don't believe that the expression "immediate integrals" is used in English. I think they are generically called integrals, and a "tabla de integrales inmediatas" is called "integral table" as far as I know.

Indefinite and definite integrals is a different concept.
