i have a derivation of a physical equation, where there is an equation

$$\int mv \gamma \,\textrm{d}v = \frac{m}{2}\int \gamma \, \textrm{d}(v^2)$$

Q1: How did we derive right side from left one? Could anyone explain this step by step or provide me with names of the integration rules applied here so i can google it myself.

$$ \frac{dv^2}{dv}=2v \Rightarrow \frac{dv^2}2=vdv $$

    Thanks... a simple derivation explains everything.2012-11-26

    In fact sometimes it is easier to me to learn integration through diferentiation.2012-11-26

This follows directly from

$$\int A f(x)\, \text dx= A\int f(x)\, \text dx$$

and a substitution.

    For what it's worth, I'll mention that $\mbox{d}(v^2)$ is shorthand for $\dfrac{\mbox{d}v^2}{\mbox{d}v}\mbox{d}v$.2012-11-26

    What yo just said is that i can put a constant in front of an integral? TY2012-11-26

    @71GA $m$ is just a constant. Thus you can move it out of the integral.2012-11-26
