Inverse hyperbolic tangent integral

In this entry we prove the follwoing result, an integral I came across today in this video


\begin{align*} \int_0^1 \frac{\operatorname{arctanh}(x^2)}{x^2}\,dx&=\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\ln(2)}{2} \end{align*}

       Today We will compute the following integral following the same ideas of the previous post : Recall (see here ) (1) Integrating both sides of (1)  from 0 to Computing    Recall (see here ) Letting we obtain We are looking for the Imaginary part of the equation above: Computing the quantities: The Glaisher function We know that (see here ): If we integrate from 0 to x we obtain Integrating from 0 to x we obtain

Four integrals evaluated with Euler´s formula

Four integrals evaluated with Euler´s formula trick In this post I intend to evaluate four basic integrals that will turn to be very useful in future posts for evaluating more complex and interesting integrals. Usually these integrals are evaluated integrating by parts twice, which renders a quite tedious and long task. The idea here is to use Euler´s formula , namely:     to turn these integrals into simple exponential integrals which are very easy and straightforward to evaluate and consequently each pair of integrals will be evaluated through only one integral. So lets get started! The first pair of integrals that I want to consider are the Laplace transform of  sin(at)  and  cos(at). (1) (2) (3) And we get that: Note that   and     which gives us that: The next pair of integrals looks very much like the previous one with except that now the limits of integration are from zero to one instead of zero to infinit...
