It was an especially important subject in 19th century analysis and it has now been revived with the appearance of symbolic languages. In this book, the authors use the problem of exact evaluation of definite integrals as a starting point for exploring many areas of mathematics. The questions discussed in this book, first published in 2004, are as old as calculus itself. In presenting the combination of methods required for the evaluation of most integrals, the authors take the most interesting, rather than the shortest, path to the results. Along the way, they illuminate connections with many subjects, including analysis, number theory, algebra and combinatorics. This will be a guided tour of exciting discovery for undergraduates and their teachers in mathematics, computer science, physics, and engineering. 606 $aDefinite integrals 615 0$aDefinite integrals. 676 $a515/.43 700 $aBoros$b George$f1947-$01042001 702 $aMoll$b Victor 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457583103321 996 $aIrresistible integrals$92465901 997 $aUNINA
