Integrals
In Corca, integrals behave like functions, not text. They can be modified, evaluated, nested, and reused inside larger expressions.
Creating an integral
You can create an integral by typing its name and selecting the suggestion. Type integral, select Integral from suggestions. An integral structure appears with editable placeholders:
Writing the integral
The integrand is the expression being integrated:
You can write any valid mathematical expression inside the integral:
(∫_^)(x*d(x)) (∫_^)(sin(x)*d(x)) (∫_^)((x2+3*x+1)*d(x))
Nested integrals
Integrals can be nested to represent multiple dimensions:
Each integral remains a separate structured object.
Specialized integrals
Corca supports several specialized integral symbols used in physics, engineering, and advanced mathematics. These integrals behave like standard integrals but carry additional semantic meaning depending on context.
To get it, just type integral and select the one you need from the suggestion.
Integral type | Symbol | Typical meaning | Common use cases |
|---|---|---|---|
Line integral | Integration along a curve | Work, circulation, path integrals | |
Double integral | Integration over an area | Surface area, mass distribution | |
Triple integral | Integration over a volume | Density, total mass, energy | |
Contour integral | Integration around a closed curve | Complex analysis, electromagnetism | |
Surface integral | Integration across a surface | Flux, surface charge | |
Volume integral | Integration inside a region | Total quantity in space | |
Path integral | Integration along a parameterized path | Mechanics, quantum physics |
Integrals in imported content
Integrals imported from LaTeX or other formats are converted into structured expressions. Example input:
\int_0^1 x^2 dxResult: a structured integral object:
