Homework Statement


How can i find the integral of [tex]\int e^{-x^{3}}dx[/tex]


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using integration by parts, but it doesn't seem to give a nice way to solve either.

I do not believe this integral exists in terms of elementary functions. Is it part of a question? If so, post the question.
 


Sketch the domain of integration of the integral [tex]\int^{1}_{0}dy\int^{1}_{\sqrt{y}} e^{-x^{3}}dx[/tex] and then evaluate it.

Are you answering you own question? If so, that's nonsense.
