There's a nice discussion here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/20578/why-is-integr...

on why integration is a fundamentally harder problem than differentiation. New techniques would be required to programatically analytically solve integrals as well as current differentiation programs, but it would be exciting to see.



I actually have an idea about how it would work that side steps all of this. I need more time to develop it but watch this space. But I agree with the local vs global relationship, in fact the whole trick is about handling this.
