I have recently seen a different notation  for integration, written as:                            ∫dxf(x)  e.g.        ∫dx(x+1)^2      Is this the same as:                            ∫f(x)dx  ⇒    =∫(x+1)^2 dx  ???

or maybe (∫ dx) . f(x)
ormaybe(dx).f(x)

I don′t think so.  Without going into details,  they got something in form:  ∫dxf(x)=F(x)+c     but I am only aware of the form:  ∫f(x)dx=F(x)+c  to me: ∫dxf(x)=(∫dx)(f(x))  whereas: ∫f(x)dx≠(∫dx)(f(x)), because:  ∫f(x)dx=(F(x))(∫dx)
