Why don’t we memorize a definite integral table?
I am glad that you ask something like this
You know a famous saying attributed to Einstein he said
"Never memorize something that you can look up "
also in my opinion its much more valuable to understand the under lying theorem or principles then its memorization.
In calculus table (i.e. differential and integral ) it might be good idea to memorize some of them but you heard of many classess where you can bring refrences like notes and booklet in exam why is this so because teacher want you to just not mugup concept but to actually understand them this is why many teacher prefer open book exams etc. They want you to enhance problem solving skill not mugup power.
