CHAPTER I
CONCERNING THE INTEGRATION OF RATIONAL
DIFFERENTIAL FORMULAS
DEFINITION
40. The formula of a differential is rational, when the differential dx of the variable x of
which the function is sought is multiplied by a rational function of x; or if X designates a
rational function of x, this formula Xdx of the differential is said to be rational.
COROLLARY 1
41. Hence in this chapter a function of x is sought of this kind, which if it should be put
as y, in order that
to X, so that
dy
dx
dy
dx
is equal to a rational function of x, or with such a function put equal
= X.
COROLLARY 2
42. Hence a function of x of this kind is sought, of which the differential is equal to Xdx;
hence the integral of this, which now is accustomed to be indicated by Xdx , provides
∫
the function sought.
COROLLARY 3
43. But if P should be a function of x of this kind, so that the differential of this is dP =
Xdx, since the quantity P + C likewise is differential, the complete integral of the
proposed formula Xdx is P + C [, for some arbitrary constant C.]
SCHOLION 1
44. Questions of this kind are referred to in the first part of the first book, in which
functions of the single variable x are sought from a given relation of the differentials of
the first degree. It is evident that if the function sought is equal to y and
dy
dx
= p, it is
required to prevail, in order that for some proposed equation between the three quantities
x, y and p, from this the natural form of the function y is found, or an equation between x
and y, with the letter p elicited. But the question thus proposed in general is considered to
outdo the analytical powers so far, so that at no time can a solution be expected.

Therefore our strengths are to be exercised in the simpler cases, among which the case

occurs, in which p is equal to some function of x, for example X, so that
dy
dx
= X or
∫
dy = Xdx and thus the integral y = Xdx is required, as we arrange in the first section.
Now this case extends widely to various natural forms of the function X and also it is
involved in many more difficult cases, from which we put in place only questions to be
resolved in this chapter, in which that function X is rational, and then to be progressing
to these irrational functions. Hence this part is subdivided conveniently into two parts, in
the first of which the integration of the simple formulas, in which p =
dy
dx
is equal to a
function of x only, is to be treated, but in the other it is appropriate to give an account of
the integration, when the equation proposed is some function of x, y and p. And since in
these two sections and chiefly in the first, most is an elaboration of the geometers, that
occupy the greater part of the whole work.
SCHOLION 2
45. But first the principles of integration are to be desired from the differential calculus,
and in the same way as the principles of division from multiplication, and the principles
of the extraction of roots from an account of raising to powers, are accustomed to be
taken. Since therefore, if a magnitude to be differentiated depends on several parts, such
as P + Q – R, the differential of this is dP + dQ – dR, thus in turn, if the formula of the
differential depends on several parts as Pdx +Qdx – Rdx, the integral is
∫ Pdx + ∫ Qdx – ∫ Rdx
obviously from the integrals of the individual parts separately. Then, since the differential
of the magnitude aP is adP, the integral of the differential formula aPdx is a Pdx ,
∫
clearly as the differential formula is multiplied by that constant magnitude, the integral
must be multiplied by the same. Thus if the formula of the differentials is aPdx + bQdx +
cRdx, whatever functions of x are designated by P, Q, R, the integral is
∫
∫
∫
a Pdx + b Qdx + c Rdx ,
thus in order that the integration is to be put in place of the forms Pdx, Qdx and Rdx,
and thus the above must be increased by the addition of an arbitrary constant C, in order
that the complete integral is obtained.

Since the differential of the power x is mx m −1dx , there is in turn

dx = m x m −1dx = x m

dx = 1 x m ;

∫ x dx = n1+1 x
n
n +1
and a x n dx = na+1 x n +1 .
∫
From which the completed integral of the proposed differential formula is
a x n +1 + C ,
n +1
the reason or from which thus is apparent, because the differential actually is equal to
ax n dx . And this integration always has a place, whatever number is attributed to the
exponent n, either positive or negative, either an integer or a fraction, or even irrational.
Hence a single case is excepted, in which the exponent n = –1 or it is proposed to
integrate this formula adx . Now in the differential calculus I have shown, if lx denotes
x
the hyperbolic logarithm of x, the differential of this is equal to dx , from which in turn
x
we can conclude that
∫ dxx = lx
and
∫ adxx = alx .
Whereby with an arbitrary constant added the complete integral of the formula adx is
x
equal to
alx + C= lxa+ C,
that also on putting lc for C can thus be expressed: lcxa.
COROLLARY 1
47. Hence the integral of the differential formulas ax n dx is always algebraic with the
only excepted case, in which n = –1 and the integral is expressed by logarithms, which
are to be referred to as transcendent functions. Obviously, it is given by
∫ adxx = alx + C = lcx

53. Nevertheless I have decided in this chapter to treat only rational functions, yet these
irrationals can still be presented at once, as likewise they can be treated as rationals.
Hence the remaining more complicated formulas are able to be integrated also, if
functions of a certain variable z are taken for x. Just as if we put x = f +gz, then dx = gdz;
whereby if for a we write ag , there is had
∫ adz ( f + gz )

54. Here another significant property deserves to be noted. Since here a function y is
dy
sought, in order that dy = ax n dx , if we put dx = p , this relation is obtained p = ax n , from
which the function y must be investigated. Therefore since
y = na+1 x n +1 + C ,
on account of ax n = p there is also
px
y = n +1 + C
and thus we have the case, where the relation of the differentials through a certain
equation is proposed between x, y and p and now we know for each to be satisfied by the
equation y = na+1 x n +1 + C . Now this no further is the complete integral for the relation
px
held in the equation y = n +1 + C , but only a particular one, because the new integral does
not involve a constant, which is not in the relation of the differentials. Moreover the
complete integral is
y = naD
x n +1 + C
+1
involving a new constant D; hence there becomes
dy
= aDx n = p
dx
and thus
px
y = n +1 + C.
If this is not relevant to the present situation, yet it is helpful to be noted.

Since X is a function of x of the rational integers [e. g. a polynomial], by necessity it

∫ Xdx = C + α x + 12 β x

then there becomes

where the exponents α , β ,ν etc. are able to signify both positive and negative numbers
as well as fractions, provided it is noted, if there should be λ = −1 , then there becomes
∫ αxdx = α lx , which is the single case to be referred to the order of transcendent functions.

and in the first place it is to be considered, whether the sum of the powers of x in the
numerator M is either greater or less than in the denominator N, in which case from the

than in the denominator N.
Then all the factors of the denominator N itself are sought, both simple if they are real,
as well as real squares, clearly in turn of the simple squares of [complex conjugate]
imaginary factors arising ; likewise it is to be considered whether these factors are all
unequal or not ; for indeed with the equality of the factors another method for the
into simple fractions has to be put in place, since they arise

moreover from the factor (a + bx) of this kind these three fractions arise:

But a double factor, the form of which is aa − 2abxcos.ζ + bbxx , unless the two should be

60. Unless we want to avoid imaginary quantities, the whole calculation now can be
completed from what has been treated; for with the denominator N resolved into all its
simple factors, they are either real or imaginary, the proposed fraction always can be
resolved into partial fractions of this form aAdx
or of this Adx n ; since the integrals of

61. Certainly here it is to be conceded that we postulate the resolution of an integral
function into factors, even if the algebra so far has by no means led to that [conclusion],
in order that this resolution actually can be put in place. But this is accustomed to be
postulated in analysis everywhere, in order that, as the longer we progress, those things
which are left behind, even if they have not been explored well enough, we assume as
known ; evidently it suffices here that all the factors are able to be assigned by the
method of approximation, however close they can be assigned. In a like manner in the

integral calculus the longer we proceed, the integrals of all the formulas of the form Xdx,
whatever function of x may be signified by the letter X, we will consider as known and
by us to be the most outstanding, if we can prevail to reduce more obscure integrals to
these forms ; this also disturbs nothing in practical use, since the values of such formulas
Xdx are allowed to be assigned almost to any extend you wish, as we shall show in

what follows. Otherwise about these integrals, the resolution of the denominator N into
its factors is absolutely necessary, therefore in order that the individual factors are present
in the expression of the integral ; there are just a few cases and these are especially easy,
in which we are able to do without that resolution ; just as if this formula is proposed
x n −1dx
1+ x n
it is at once apparent on putting x n = ν that it goes into
(

dν
, the integral of
n(1+ν )
which is 1n l (1 + ν ) = 1n l 1 + x n , where there was no need for the resolution of the factors.
Now cases of this kind are so evident in themselves, so that no particular explanation of
these may be needed.

removed in the following manner. Since there arises
l ( aa − 2abxcos.ζ + bbxx ) =

∫ aa −2abxcos.ζ +bbxx

denominator aa − 2abx + bbxx becomes a square, the account of the angle disappears

Therefore in this manner all the differential formulas of the fractions can be reduced by
that, so that the sum of the powers of x in the numerator shall be less by two or more
degrees than in the denominator.

Now in the first formula the letters C and D thus are to be defined, in order that the
numerator becomes divisible by X ; hence [see * below] it is necessary for the numerator
to be equal to −2nDXdx ,
[i.e. the numerator becomes −2nDdx ( aa − 2abx cos .ζ + bbxx ) = −2nDXdx ]
from which we arrive at
A + 2nCab cos .ζ = −2nDaa
and
B + 2nDab cos .ζ − 2nCbb = 4nDab cos .ζ
or B − 2nCbb = 2nDabcos.ζ and hence

74. With the proposed differential formula α + β x +γ xx , to define the integral of this.
Since in the numerator of the variable x there is fewer dimensions than in the
denominator, this fraction includes no integral parts. Hence the nature of the denominator
must be assessed carefully, whether it should have two real simple factors or not, and in
the first case, if the factors are equal ; from which we have three cases to be explained.
1. The denominator has both factors equal and let it be equal to (a + bx)2 and the
fraction
(A+ Bx )dx
(a +bx ) 2
is resolved into these two :
Ab − Ba
b (a + bx ) 2

from which there is produced

87. Therefore by this the chapter has been made clear, so that nothing further from this
dy
kind can be desired. Hence as often as a function y of x of this kind is sought, so that dx
is equal to some rational function of x, so the integration presents no difficulty, except
perhaps in the elucidation of the particular factor of the denominator where the teaching
of algebra has not been sufficient; then indeed the difficulty must be attributed to the
defects of the algebra, not the method of integration which we have treated here. Then
dy
also chiefly it is agreed to be noted always, since dx is put equal to a rational function of
x, the function of y, unless it is algebraic, does not involve other transcending functions
in addition to logarithms and angles ; where indeed here it is to be observed always that
hyperbolic logarithms are to be understood, since the differential of lx in not equal to 1x ,
unless the hyperbolic logarithm is taken ; but the reduction of these to common
logarithms is very simple, thus so that hence the application of the calculus to the practice
is not bothered by any impediment. Whereby we may progress to these other cases, in
dy
which the formula dx is equal to an irrational function of x, where indeed at first it must
be noted, whenever this function by a suitable substitution can be reduced to rationals, the
case to be returned to this chapter. Just as if there should be

APPENDICES FROM
INTRODUCTIO IN ANALYSIN INFINITORUM CH.2 &
INSTITUTIONES CALCULI DIFFERENTIALIS CH.18,Part 2.
In Ch. 9 § 145 of the Introductio..., Euler proceeds as follows : The
quadratic p − qz + rzz in the variable z has imaginary roots if 4 pr > qq or
q
2 pr
< 1. Since
the sines and cosines of angles are less than 1, then the formula p − qz + rzz has simple
imaginary factors, if
q
should be the sine or cosine of some angle. Hence, let
2 pr
q
2 pr
= cos .ϕ , or q = 2 pr ⋅ cos .ϕ
and the trinomial p − qz + zz contains the imaginary simple factors. But lest the
irrationality should produce any trouble, I assume this form pp − 2 pqz cos .ϕ + qqzz , and
the simple imaginary factors of this are these :
qz − p cos .ϕ + −1 ⋅ sin .ϕ and qz − p cos .ϕ − −1 ⋅ sin .ϕ .
(
)
(
)
Where indeed it is apparent, if cos .ϕ = ±1 , then both the factors are equal and real since
sin .ϕ = 0 . [In modern terms, we would say that qz − peiϕ
and qz − pe−iϕ are the
(
)
n
factors, and powers of z can be expressed in the form z n = r n cos .ϕ ± −1 ⋅ sin .ϕ ]. In
§ 147, Euler assumes DeMoivre's Theorem :
( cos .ϕ ±
and hence
(
−1 ⋅ sin .ϕ
)
n
= cos .nϕ ± −1 ⋅ sin .nϕ ,
)
p
z n = r n cos .nϕ ± −1 ⋅ sin .nϕ , where r = q
In § 150 Euler examines the function a n + z n , and the form of the trinomial factors of
p
this factor pp − 2 pqz cos .ϕ + qqzz is to be determined. On putting r = q into the equation,
there are produced these two equations : a n = r n cos .nϕ , and 0 = r n sin .nϕ . From the
latter equation we must have, for some integer k, nϕ = 2kπ , or nϕ = ( 2k + 1) π ; but in
the former equation, we must choose nϕ = ( 2k + 1) π , in order that we have a n − r n = 0 ,
and hence r = a = q . Hence in the above equation, p = a, q = 1, and ϕ = ( 2k + 1) πn .

Hence the quadratic factor with conjugate roots of the function a n + z n can be shown to
be aa − 2az cos . 2kn+1 π + zz , where k is less than n. Euler goes on to look at numerous
cases involving this factorization.
The partial fraction reduction quoted above in Examples 2 and 3 comes from the

the end of § 406 to Example 1 of §417 in translation :

denominator can thus be defined.
P to have a factor f + gx ,
407. Therefore we arrange the denominator Q of the fraction Q
thus so that Q = ( f + gx ) S , and indeed here, neither does S contain in addition the same
factor f + gx . Let the simple fraction arising from this factor be equal to f +Agx and the
P.
complement has a form of this kind VS , thus so that f +Agx + VS = Q
P− A =
P
− f +Agx = P − AS , and thus V = P − AS .
Hence there arises : VS = Q
f + gx ( f + gx ) S
( f + gx ) S
( f + gx )
Therefore, as V is an integral function of x, it is necessary that P − AS should be divisible
−f
by f + gx ; and therefore, if there is put f + gx = 0 or x = g , then the expression
P − AS vanishes, [as f + gx is a factor of P − AS or x =
−f
g
is a root of this polynomial].
−f
Hence on making x = g , since P − AS = 0 , then A = PS , [for this value of x] as now we
( f + gx ) P , if there is

put f + gx = 0 or x = g everywhere. Now since in this case both the numerator
( f + gx ) P as well as the denominator Q vanish here, by means of that, which we are
about to set out in the investigation of fractions of this kind, then if indeed there is put

x= g ,
A=
( f + gx ) dP + Pgdx .

But in this case on account of ( f + gx ) dP = 0 then A =

[One can see that Euler is thinking of the ratio becoming zero on zero when x = g , and
so the ratio is to the differential of the numerator to the differential of the denominator.
One can see also that the problem is essentially an application of L'Hôpital's Rule : as is
well known, in the neighbourhood of a common simple zero x = a of well-behaved
functions r and s of x, or a common root of polynomials, the values of the functions at a
are represented by their differentials, and it is an easy matter to show that
r ( a ) r' ( a )
=

, where the rule can be extended to higher derivatives if necessary .]
P has a simple factor
408. Therefore if the denominator Q of the proposed fraction Q

being present,
dQ
−f
after everywhere here the value g is put in place of x arising from the equation
f + gx = 0 must be substituted. Hence, if Q is not expressed in factors, this division can
often be omitted without any bother, particularly if the denominator Q has indefinite
exponents, since the value of A can be obtained from the formula
Pgdx
dQ
. But if the
denominator now was expressed in factors, thus in order that hence the value of S should
be at once apparent, then the other expression is to be preferred, in which we found
−f
A = PS on putting everywhere equally x = g . And thus for finding the value of A itself
in whatever case that formula can be used, which is seen to be the more convenient and
expedient. But we illustrate the use of the new formula with some examples.

Let this fraction be proposed

from the factor of the denominator 1 + x .
Since here Q = 1 + x17 , even if 1 + x is agreed to be a factor of this, yet, if as the first
method demands, we wish to divide by that, there is produced
S = 1 − x + xx − x3 + ... + x16

from whatever the factor of the second power, since the denominator of the proposed
denominator is retained in the computation, since we avoid a division, in which the value
of the letter S must be defined and which often is more than a little troublesome.
P has such a factor
Therefore if the denominator Q of the fraction Q
ff − 2 fgx cos ϕ + ggxx = 0 , a simple fraction arising from this factor can be defined in
the following manner, so that we may produce :

is put x = g sin ϕ and any power of this x n = n sin nϕ and P is changed into p and dx
g
into q . And in this manner with the values of the letters P , Q, p and q found, A and a
can thus be found, in order that there becomes

56. Si X denotet functionem quamcunque rationalem fractam ipsius x, methodum
describere, cuius ope formulae Xdx integrale investigari conveniat.
SOLUTIO
Sit igitur X = M
, ita ut M et N futurae sint functiones integrae ipsius x, ac primo
N
dispiciatur, num summa potestas ipsius x in numeratore M tanta sit vel etiam maior quam
in denominatore N, quo casu ex fractione M
partes integrae per divisionem eliciantur;
N
quarum integratio cum nihil habeat difficultatis, totum negotium reducitur ad eiusmodi
fractionem M
, in cuius numeratore M summa potestas ipsius x minor sit quam in
N
denominatore N.
Tum quaerantur omnes factores ipsius denominatoris N, tam simplices, si fuerint
reales, quam duplices reales, vicem scilicet binorum simplicium imaginariorum gerentes;
simulque videndum est, utrum hi factores omnes sint inaequales necne; pro factorum
enim aequalitate alio modo resolutio fractionis M
in fractiones simplices est instituenda,

quandoquidem ex singulis factoribus fractiones partiales nascuntur, quarum aggregatum

SCHOLION 1
60. Nisi vellemus imaginaria evitare, totum negotium ex iam traditis confici posset;
denominatore enim N in omnes suos factores simplices resoluto, sive sint reales sive
imaginarii, fractio proposita semper resolvi poterit in fractiones partiales huius formae

SCHOLION 2
61. Hic utique postulamus resolutionem cuiusque functionis integrae in factores nobis
concedi, etiamsi algebra neutiquam adhuc eo sit perducta, ut haec resolutio actu institui
possit. Hoc autem in Analysi ubique postulari solet, ut, quo longius progrediamur, ea,
quae retro sunt relicta, etiamsi non satis fuerint explorata, tanquam cognita assumamus;
sufficere scilicet hic potest omnes factores per methodum approximationum quantumvis
prope assignari posse. Simili modo cum in calculo integrali longius processerimus,
integralia omnium huiusmodi formularum Xdx, quaecunque functio ipsius x littera X
significetur, tanquam cognita spectabimus plurimumque nobis praestinisse videbimur, si
integralia magis abscondita ad eas formas reducere valuerimus; atque hoc etiam in usu
practico nihil turbat, cum valores talium formularum Xdx quantumvis prope assignare
∫
liceat, uti in sequentibus ostendemus. Caeterum ad has integrationes resolutio
denominatoris N in suos factores absolute est necessaria, propterea quod singuli hi
factores in expressionem integralis ingrediuntur; paucissimi sunt casus iique maxime
obvii, quibus ista resolutione carere possumus; veluti si proponatur haec
