In integral calculus, the Weierstrass substitution or tangent half angle substitution is a method for solving integrals, which converts a rational expression of trigonometric functions into an algebraic rational function, which can be easier to integrate. The Weierstrass substitution is very useful for integrals that involve a simple rational expression with sine and/or cosine in the denominator.
