# Math Help - find the integral(2)

1. ## find the integral(2)

1. $\int\frac{sinx}{x}dx$
2. $\int_{-00}^{00} (cosx)e^{-x^{2}/2}dx$

$\int \frac{\sin(x)}{x}dx=\text{SinIntegral(x)}$

. . . stop special function discrimination: equal rights for special functions.

You can not solve this integrals in terms of elementary function.
This well-known integral is used in electrical engineering.

Hi. It's a suggestion to treat "special functions" like antiderivatives of integrals that can't be expressed in simple terms, in the same way that you treat $\sin(x)$ so if I have $\int \cos(x)dx$ you say "hey, that's easy, it's $\sin(x)$. So hey, $\int \frac{sin x}{x}$ is easy. It's . . .

Also, for that second we did that one here:
