    Graduate Solving Difficult Integral: \int_0^1\ \frac{\arctan(x)}{x(x^2+1)}\ \mbox{d}x

    What a mess! Why the answer isn't ln sin pi/4 {pi/4 - sin pi/4} + 1, why? Just curious.

    Difficult integration question

    The first condition of this question is similar to that of Drichilet function. Break the condition further from this.

    Solving a Difficult Integral: Strategies and Advice

    Well, it was just pure innocent fun. The actual quantity under root is (x^2+5)^2 - 96(x+1). From here, I think, it can be done. Sorry folks, for the joke above.

    Solving a Difficult Integral: Strategies and Advice

    The denominator can be replaced as [{(x^2+5)^2/96 - 1}^2 + 5]^2. P.S. That /96 is to the whole (x^2+5)^2 expression.

    Graduate Solve Difficult Integral: Analytic Approximations Welcome

    Probably, unfamiliarity with the advanced topic is creating the problem. But, as I know, this particular integral is of Fourier Integral Theorem, and it solved from the left to the right i.e. formal tactics of a regular double integration not necessarily followed. This means, this integral does...

    Prove that the inverse of an integer matrix is also an integer matrix

    Indeed, the question itself provides the answer. When you say, integer, it means if you have f as a function of integers, then it can be easily manipulated into Drichilet functions and/or Dirac-Delta Functions. And, from here, you can use a lot of identities or transforms to achieve what is...

    Difficult mechanics problem - is this even possible to solve?

    Since, the question involves coefficient of friction and the mass at the surface is double in magnitude, which mathematically yields 8.94N<10N, thus the mass won't move. But if one interchanges the masses then this will have some +ve numerical result.
