(calculus) A function whose derivative is a given function; an indefinite integral
Synonyms: primitive, integral
Because it is usually easier to compute an antiderivative than to apply the definition of a definite integral, the fundamental theorem of calculus provides a practical way of computing definite integrals. Source: Internet
