When a two-faced sleazeball crooked politician that the mainstream media happens to like kicks off, this is the word they wear out of the dictionary to describe the substance of his or her political career.
I keep turning on the TV news and hearing the anchors and reporters talk about all the integrity that the late Senator John Smith had. But Smith once said that he didn't care that people were dying in riots taking place in the southern part of his state, because there were too few voters in that part of the state.

Representing a stage of thinking which emerges after pluralistic post-modernist thought. Integral consciousness can also be referred to as methodological pluralism, in that unlike the disorder of postmodernism, integralism is characterized, by natural organization, or holons. Integral thought was made popular by American Philosopher Ken Wilber.
Integral philosophy is a school of philosophy.
Related to that school, is the belief that humans develop through relatively similar stages of consciousness as they go through life, one such emerging stage of consciousness is often referred to as the Integral stage, or post-post modernist stage, distinct from the post-modernist stage which preceded it.
Only after orienting ourselves within certain generalizations about the nature of existence and its unfolding. Can we began to move into an integral understanding, of ourselves and our place in the universe.

Typically used in calculus when trying to find the area under a curve. Integration can be used to find areas, volumes, central points and many useful things, but is easiest to start with finding the area under the curve of a function like this: What is the area under y = f(x)?
Also, due to it being affiliated with calculus, it may make you look smarter than you actually are.
John: Hey did you figure out how to solve question 186b?
Bob: It was easy! You simply had to use integrals!
I realised there is no proper adjective form for 'integrity', so I made my own.
"The Earth has a wonderfully integrous character"
describes someone (or something) that does what they said they’ll do, how they said they’d do it, within the timeframe to which they committed
I’m grateful to be backed by the full faith and credit of such an integrous company.
the reverse process of differentiaton
we know that, for example if f(x) = 2x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x -7
then f'(x) = 6x^2 - 10x + 3
This process can be reversed.
In general, y = x^n -> dy/dx = nx^(n-1)
So, reversing this process, it would seem that dy/dx = x^m -> y = (1/(m+1))x^(m+1)
The general process of finding a function from its derivative is known as interation.
Given that dy/dx = 12x^2 + 4x - 5, find an expression for y.
y = 12((x^3)/3) + 4((x^2)/2) - 5((x^1)/1)
It would seem that
y=4x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x
but that is not quite the complete answer
Whenever you differentiate a constant you get zero,
e.g. y = 7 dy/dx = 0
and so the expression for y above could have any constant on the end and still satisfy dy/dx = 12x^2 + 4x - 5
The answer to this example is therefore
y= 4x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + c, where c is a constant.

Something that certain people in fantasy leagues feel can only be defined by them, AND can only be obtained if you agree with what they say, otherwise you will be called a Fuck Head or a piece of shit.
Cosa feels that because I don't agree with him, I lack integrity.
