Homework Statement



Evaluate the indefinite integral as an infinite series ∫ sin(x2) dx



Homework Equations



The Macluarin series of sin x =


Ʃ (-1)nx2n+1/(2n+1)!
n=0

The Macluarin series for sin(x2) =


Ʃ (-1)x4n+2/(2n+1)!
n=0



The Attempt at a Solution



Do i evaluate the integral of sin(x2)

from 0 to 1? then add the first couple of numbers to get a number or find a pattern?

It's asking for an indefinite integral. The only thing you can really do is integrate the Maclaurin series term and put a summation sign in front of it.
