This is a mathematical method of reducing a certain integral to a simpler form. An example is that if we try to integrate a trigonometry function of a certain power, then we have to use integration by parts to simplify it to a lower power. By writing a formula connecting both, a formula can be used to reduce the function till it is posiible to integrate directly.
However, this method is usually used in definite integration.
