Is it okay to for the integrand and bounds of integration to be functions of the same variable?

Physics Asked by DevrimA on April 12, 2021

For the sake of simplicity, say we given that $a = 6t$ and that we must find the velocity as a function of time. We would set up the following integral:

$$displaystyle int_{v(t_0)}^{v(t)}dv = int_{t_0}^t 6t,dt$$

Having $t$ in the bounds of integration and also in the integrand seems weird to me. Is this the best way to notate it?

Very bad mathematical grammar. It's perhaps comprehensible, but can lead to horrible errors. Don't do it!

Write $$ int_0^t 6 tau, d tau. $$
