    Students in physics courses are often asked to compute integrals that are both similar and different compared to the integrals from Calculus courses. We interviewed three students at a mid-sized midwestern university, and asked them to work on integral problems from math and physics contexts and talk through their thinking. We identified five conceptual resources that students activated throughout and across the interviews. Here, we highlight two of the five resources through an example of a student reasoning through a volume integral problem, and their thought process as they attempt to connect different conceptions of integration. We argue that this case study excerpt is representative of some of the hurdles that certain conceptions of integrals may lead to when solving different integral problems in physics despite students’ prior success in math courses.
