Hello. I am working through the book "Analysis of Electric Machinery and Drive Systems" by Krause. On p.51, the mutual inductance between two windings (a and b) of a 3-phase machine (generator) is calculated. I am struggling to follow the integration performed on eqn 1.5-15 to arrive at eqn. 1.5-16

I have given the root of the problem: a double integral involving the product of trig. functions

Homework Statement



∫sin ρ ∫cos(ζ - 2∏/3)(A - Bcos(2(ζ - θ)) dζ dρ

first integral is done from ∏→2∏
second integral is done from ρ → ρ + ∏

result given in textbook is:

∏/2 * (A + Bcos(2(θ - ∏/3)))

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried expanding out the cosine and sine terms but the problem quickly blows up... :(

EDIT: I did perform the integral using MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox. The result agrees with the given answer. I'm just at a loss of how to do this by hand. It seems very challenging so I'm wondering if I'm missing a trick.

I'd try expanding cos(ζ - 2∏/3)(A - Bcos(2(ζ - θ))) to Acos(ζ - 2∏/3)-Bcos(ζ - 2∏/3)cos(2(ζ - θ)). The term with one cos should be no problem. For the second one use cos(X)cos(Y)=(1/2)(cos(X+Y)-cos(X-Y)).
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
