List of integrals of trigonometric functions

The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of trigonometric functions. For antiderivatives involving both exponential and trigonometric functions, see List of integrals of exponential functions. For a complete list of antiderivative functions, see Lists of integrals. For the special antiderivatives involving trigonometric functions, see Trigonometric integral.

Generally, if the function $\sin x$ is any trigonometric function, and $\cos x$ is its derivative,

\int a\cos nx\,dx={\frac {a}{n}}\sin nx+C

In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration.
