SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the integration of the Bessel function J3/2(x) with respect to a constant 'a'. The integral ∫(J3/2(ax)/x^2)dx is evaluated, leading to the conclusion that a^2∫(J3/2(ax)/(ax)^2)dx equals a^2/2π. A substitution y = ax simplifies the integral, confirming that one of the 'a's cancels out, resulting in dx=dy/a. This method effectively resolves the integration challenge presented.
