Hi,
I'm a first year university student in a pure math major and somehow they are telling me I need to know intergration which I did learn in high school and it is not even part of the grade 12 calculus course anymore. I know its not too difficult and I know how to do some I'm just not sure of the specifics. The course I need to know it for is first year Physics, so if someone could help me out that would be great, a web link to a good site or a couple of examples would be great.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but "a couple of examples" couldn't begin to teach you the complexities, formulas, and techniques of integral calculus. If you need calculus as a prerequisite for your physics, then I'm afraid you're likely going to have to "bite the bullet" and take a calculus course.

Just to add a note to Eliz’s comment.
You said that you learned calculus in secondary school. Why then do you not know it now?
You see when your university admitted you to a pure mathematics program it assumed that you were prepared with the basics.
Moreover, you should have known the prerequisites for the physics course before taking it.
 
I did take calculus is high school and I finished with a 90 but we did not do intergration because it is no longer part of out ontario grade 12 calculus course it is only diferenation. Also I am in calculus but the first half only deals with diferenation as well and than the second part we deal with intergration.


Just a web site would be helpful. PLEASE or even i book i could easely find.
 
We're not trying to be difficult; you're asking the impossible. There is no book or web site which can, in a "couple examples", teach you a full semester of integral calculus.

If you need integral calculus before you take physics, then don't sign up for the physics class until after you've passed integral calculus.
