Let $$I=\int_{2013}^{2014} \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx$$. Determine with reason if $I<0,\,I=0$ or $I>0$?

This challenge is one of my top favorite problems that can be cracked using purely elementary method! (Sun):)

converting to degree we have lower limit around $136.90^\circ$ and upper limit around $193.70^\circ$
now from $136.90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$ degrees $\sin$ is $\ge 0$ and from $180^\circ$ to 1$93.70^\circ$ . it is $\le 0$. They come in the same cycle as difference is 1 radian
integral from $(180-13.70)^\circ$ i.e $166.30^\circ$ to $193.70^\circ$ shall be zero provided denominator is constant. as denominator is decreasing the integral from $166.30^\circ$ to $193.70^\circ$ is positive and adding another positive quantity that is integral from $136.90^\circ$ to $166.30^\circ$ which is positive so sum $I \gt 0$
 
Thanks kaliprasad for participating.
Your solution is quite ingenious, and please note that the value $136.90^\circ$ should be $136.40^\circ$.

Solution of other:
Split the definite integral into two part, with $a$ being the zero at about $2013.75$, note that we have:

$$\int_{2013}^{a} \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx>\int_{2013}^{a} \frac{\sin x}{2014}\,dx$$

and

$$\int_{a}^{2014} \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx>\int_{a}^{2014} \frac{\sin x}{2013}\,dx$$

So adding them up yields

$$\begin{align*}I=\int_{2013}^{a} \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx+\int_{a}^{2014} \frac{\sin x}{x}\,dx&>\int_{2013}^{a} \frac{\sin x}{2014}\,dx+\int_{a}^{2014} \frac{\sin x}{2013}\,dx\\&>\frac{\cos 2013}{2014}-\frac{\cos 2014}{2013}+\frac{\cos a}{2013}-\frac{\cos a}{2014}\\&>0\end{align*}$$

oops my mistake. false start in 2016.

Please don't worry about it...and it was after all an honest mistake, I understand it completely.:)
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
