Evaluate the definite integral in the given problem

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating a definite integral using integration by parts. The participants agree that integration by parts appears to be the most straightforward method for solving the problem. Key variables are identified, including u=t and dv=sin(1/2 t). There is uncertainty about whether alternative integration methods could be more effective. Ultimately, integration by parts is suggested as the primary approach for this integral.

This is clear to me (easy )...i am seeking an alternative way of integrating this...or can we say that integration by parts is the most straightforward way?

The key on solving this using integration by parts is to note that;
##u=t, du=dt, dv=sin \frac {1}{2} t, v=-2 cos \frac {1}{2} t##

I am not sure but afraid that we have no better way.
