SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers around the performance issues encountered while using Mathematica to solve an integral with respect to 'phix' from 0 to π/2. The user reports waiting for over an hour without receiving a solution, raising concerns about whether the integral has a closed form. The discussion highlights the need for efficient coding practices in Mathematica to handle complex integrations.

Hello,

I have this equation as attached, I need to integrate with respect to 'phix' from 0 to
∏/2. I have been waiting for the solution for one hour. Does it not have closed-form? Could someone please point the problem.

Thank you so much.

Code would be better than a screen-shot. I would be glad to help, but I am too lazy to manually type that formula in.
