Quote of the Day:
"But just as much as it is easy to find the differential 
   [derivative] of a given quantity, so it is difficult to 
   find the integral of a given differential. Moreover, 
   sometimes we cannot say with certainty whether the 
   integral of a given quantity can be found or not." 
      -- Johann Bernoulli
