USM is a single, systematic framework that unifies trigonometric, hyperbolic, and complex-exponential substitutions into one coherent method. No more hunting through a dozen separate “recipes” for different radicals or inverse-trig integrals—you rewrite x + b as e^(±i α) (or e^θ), track sign/branch choices algorithmically, and reduce everything to a rational (“polynomish”) integral in a new variable.
Why USM shines for ∫ e^(arccos(x)) dx:
• Transforms e^(arccos(x)) into simple powers of t = e^(–i arccos(x))
• Eliminates the usual integration-by-parts slog
• Integrates term-by-term in one shot, then back-substitutes for a crisp final form
