CHALLENGE INTEGRALS

Rules: I will post many challenging integrals on this page. All will be able to be solved using
technique that you will learn this semester. All the integrals are difficult but some are more diffi-
cult than others - appearances can be deceiving! Solutions must be written up in full and given to
me. Using WolframAlpha or any other source other than the hints given here is an automatic dis-
qualification! All integrals will come on a first come, first serve basis - meaning once one person
has solved it, you are more than welcome to keep working on it but you will not receive a point
for solving it. There will be some prize for the person that submits the most correct solutions. In
the event of a tie, the winner who solved the more challenging of the integrals will be selected.
Perhaps some prizes will be given to other people that solve some of these - we shall see.

Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!
