Pattern 1: King's Rule (Every Year) integral f+f(cosx)) = pi/4. The exponent, function type, and disguise vary, but the core pattern is the same.
Pattern 2: x*sin on [0,pi] (Very Frequent) Apply King's to get pi*integral sin dx. Substitute u=cosx for arctan result. Answer: /4.
Pattern 3: Riemann Sum (Most Years) Standard forms: 1/n sum = ln2, sum ^k = , Stirling-type (n!)^ = 1/e.
Pattern 4: Leibniz Rule (Frequent) F(x) = integral(0 to ) f(t) dt, find F'(x). Or: solve integral equation by differentiating.
Pattern 5: |sin x| or |cos x| with Periodicity Count periods, compute one-period integral, multiply.
Pattern 6: Floor/Fractional Part integral [x] dx: split at integers. integral {x} dx: use period 1 and integral(0,1) {x}dx = 1/2.
Pattern 7: Area Between Curves Find intersection points, determine which curve is above, integrate difference.
