Mistake 1: Forgetting to perform long division before partial fractions when deg(P) >= deg(Q).
Mistake 2: In partial fractions with repeated factors, writing instead of + ^2 for (x-a)^2 factor.
Mistake 3: Sign errors in trigonometric substitution. Remember: if x = a sin(theta), then dx = a cos(theta) d(theta), and sqrt(a^{2-x}^2) = a cos(theta) (not a sin(theta)).
Mistake 4: In reduction formulas, using the wrong base case. for is x (not 1), and is -cos(x) (not cos(x)).
Mistake 5: Forgetting the pi/2 factor in Wallis' formula for even n. Odd n does NOT include pi/2.
Mistake 6: In [f+f'] type, incorrectly splitting the integrand. Always verify by differentiating your answer.
