This integration technique is particularly useful whenever either a sum-of-square or a difference-of-squares is found within the integrand. This approach is typically implemented to help reduce the complexity found among square-root functions.

| Substitution | Expression | Protocols |
| Sine | \(\sqrt{a^2-u^2}\) | \(u=a\,\texttt{sin}(\theta)\) |
| Secant | \(\sqrt{u^2-a^2}\) | \(u=a\,\texttt{sec}(\theta)\) |
