> I don't understand why my definite integrals between some constant (a) and x of some function of some variable need to be represented by some other capital letter (not f!) and with independent variable x instead of whatever independent variable the integrand had.
You mean why do we write down [math]F(x) = \int_a ^x f(t) ~ dt[/math] rather than [math]F(x) = \int_a^x f(x) ~ dx[/math]?
That's essentially because, from the moment you pick an [math]x[/math] (that is, attempt to evaluate the left side), [math]x[/math] becomes a constant, and you can't integrate along constants.

Bro I think that's a bear.
