Speaking as someone who is completely useless at integrals except for the basic undergrad-level tricks, yes, there is.
Rewriting formulas in different forms can allow you to see analogies between them, allowing you to prove "mini-theorems", which you can use to make computations more efficient or to adapt slightly different mathematical tools to your problem.
Those things happen frequently even if you are a "just" a developer, (not necessarily with integrals/real analysis, for example combinatorics tricks are extremely common), but it's definitely a nice tool to have.
- reedjosh 5y agoIf you have any interest in master's level engineering, you cannot get by without a strong understanding. I took a single master's course as a deal to get my bachelor's and that was Random Signals and Stochastic Processes. Wow, you cannot get these concepts without a super strong mathematics background. To this date I think it was both the hardest and most fulfilling course I took.
