SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the integral calculation of \(\int^{\theta} \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sin \theta}} d\theta\). A user suggests using the substitution \(\sqrt{\csc \theta} = t\) to simplify the integral into a standard form. This substitution is recognized as a viable method to facilitate the calculation. Participants agree that exploring this substitution can lead to a more manageable integral expression.

I need help with this integral :
[tex]\int^{\theta} \frac{1}{\sqrt{sin \theta}} d\theta[/tex]
I tried various substitutions but I can't get it.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Have you tried [tex]\sqrt{ cosec \theta} = t[/tex]?
I think that reduces it to a standard integral
