Inside Interesting Integrals
Whats the point of calculating definite integrals since you can t possibly do them all?
What makes doing the specific integrals in this book of value aren t the specific answers
well obtain, but rather the methods we ll use in obtaining those answers; methods you
can use for evaluating the integrals you will encounter in the future.
Ihis book is written in a light-hearted manner for students who have completed the
first year of college or high school AP calculus, and have just a bit of exposure to the
concept of a differentia] equation. Every result is fully derived. It you are fascinated by
definite integrals, then this is a book for you.
Definite integrals have fascinated mathematicians
ror
centuries, and in this book you ll
see how people like
Euler,
Cauchy, Riemann,
Frullarli, Dirichlet,
Lebesgue, Leibni/,
Dini,
Wallis, Eeynman,
and Hardy did battle with, and
eventuali}
solved, some very
interesting ones, indeed. All of the integrals discussed were chosen to illustrate a wide
variety of techniques ( clever tricks of the trade1), and many of them have historical
significance in physics, mathematics, and engineering.
Paul J. Nahin, with decades of experience in teaching these techniques to students at
Harvey
M
udd
Cołfege,
the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Universities of Virginia
and New Hampshire, is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at the University
of New Hampshire.
