How to Write Integrals

Simple integrals can be written like this:

\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx

The output is

(1)   \begin{align*}\int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx\end{align*}

Integrals with two integrals and two bounds can be written like this

\int_{a}^{b} \int_{c}^{d} f(x) \, dx \, dy

(2)   \begin{align*}\int_{a}^{b} \int_{c}^{d} f(x) \, dx \, dy\end{align*}

Double integrals over a single integration domain can be written like this:

\iint_{D} f(x,y) \, dx \, dy

(3)   \begin{align*}\iint_{D} f(x,y) \, dx \, dy\end{align*}

Triple integrals over a single integration domain can be written like this

\iiint_{D} f(x,y,z) \, dx \, dy \, dz

(4)   \begin{align*}\iiint_{D} f(x,y,z) \, dx \, dy \, dz\end{align*}

Quadruple integrals over a single integration domain can be written like this

\iiiint_{D} f(x,y,z,w) \, dx \, dy \, dz \, dw

(5)   \begin{align*}\iiiint_{D} f(x,y,z,w) \, dx \, dy \, dz \, dw\end{align*}

We can also write integrals and dots like this

\idotsint_V  f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{n}) \, dx_{1}\, dx_{2}\ldots dx_{n}

(6)   \begin{align*}\idotsint_V  f(x_{1},x_{2},\ldots, x_{n}) \, dx_{1}\, dx_{2}\ldots dx_{n}\end{align*}

We can write integrals with a circle like this

\oint_V f(s) \, ds

(7)   \begin{align*}\oint_V f(s) \, ds\end{align*}

How to write limit values in Latex

We write limit values as follows

\lim_{x\to \infty} f(x) = 2

(8)   \begin{align*}\lim_{x\to \infty} f(x) = 2\end{align*}

We can also write them like this

\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = 2

(9)   \begin{align*}\lim_{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x) = 2\end{align*}

Then, we can also write limits in fraction expressions like this

\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{3-x}{x-2}

(10)   \begin{align*}\lim_{x \to 3} \frac{3-x}{x-2}\end{align*}
