    Can these two equations be solved for T with limits from 0 to 2pi?

    Can someone help solve these two equations: 1. T[Cos(t)] = ∫[Sin(t-x)Cos(t)]dx the limits are from 0 to 2pi 2. T[Sin(t)]=∫[Sin(t-x)Sin(t)]dx; the limits are from 0 to 2pi Thanks

    Integrating Along a 2D Line Segment

    I've been trying to evaluate an integral for the last few days now and it really has me stumped. I was hoping that maybe someone here would be able to help me out. So the function, cov(x,x'), is fairly basic. It's called a squared exponential covariance function and it evaluates the covariance...

    Integrating V(x)DV(X) in NMOS Transistors: A Mathematical Analysis

    I'm in an electronics course, and the book derives an equation for the current-voltage characteristics of an NMOS transistor. In doing so, it integrate this: \int_{0}^{V_{DS}}V(X)\, dV(X)=\frac{V_{DS}^2}{2}I can see that integrating a function F(X) with respect to F(X) turns out to be the same...
