Tabular Method in Integration

The video tutorial covers integration by parts, focusing on the complexity of solving integrals like x squared e to the x. It introduces tabular integration as a method to check answers, though it may not always be accepted for full marks. The tutorial explains how to build and apply the tabular method, emphasizing its use as a checking tool rather than a primary solving method. The video concludes with a promise of more examples in the next session.

What is the main mathematical technique discussed in the video?
