Calculus II: Integration By Parts (Level 3 of 6)

The video tutorial covers integration by parts, focusing on problems requiring multiple applications of the formula. It provides a detailed solution for integrating x^2 * cos(x) and highlights potential errors in repeated applications. The tutorial introduces the tabular method as a shortcut for certain integrals, demonstrating its use with an example involving x^2 * sin(pi * x).
