arXiv:2610.40681v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this note, we address a traditional pedagogical asymmetry between algorithmic differentiation and heuristic integration by introducing an extra parametric-order differential framework. By treating the order of differentiation as a parametric axis (discrete or continuous), classical integration is reframed as a local differential evaluation at the non-positive boundary level. This analytical shift alleviates some traditional routines of integration by parts, by replacing the quadrature of a product of elementary functions with a direct differential series that either truncates into a finite algebraic sum or resolves through cyclic symmetries. This parametric-order approach also bridges the gap with fractional calculus, showing that non-integer derivatives emerge as a seamless extension of the same operational dimension. By reducing global quadrature to local differentiation, this note offers an efficient, conceptual tool for undergraduate analysis.
