Find \int_{}^{} x*(tan^(-1)(x))^2\,d
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What are the limits of integration, if any?

What have you tried so far?

I would attempt integration by parts with $\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = \left[ \arctan{(x)} \right] ^2 \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \mathrm{d}v = x\,\mathrm{d}x \end{align*}$...

I did it but it needs many steps and there is no result

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
