Most real life integrals and differential equations are not analytically solvable anyway, so you run into tables like you do with most real life applications of logarithms.
What happens is you learn numerical approximation methods and then recreate the tables with human 'computers', like we used to do before electrical computers came into play. Or create mechanical analog computers like they did in the 1800s or greek times.
