A user is seeking a free software solution to compute a complex integral for a personal project, as WolframAlpha requires payment for the calculation. They cannot make online purchases due to a lack of a credit card and prefer not to use their father's. Several users recommend online integral calculators, specifically mentioning integral-calculator.com and integralcalculators.com, which offer multiple tools for this purpose. The integral in question involves an exponential function and a cosine function. The discussion highlights the availability of free resources for integral calculations without the need for payment.

Hi,

I have this integral that I really want to calculate for a personal project (not for school), so I typed it into WolframAlpha and it said that the it took too long to compute and to get it computed I would have to pay money. Is there any free software that may be able to calculate this integral? I can't make online purchases as I do not have a credit card, and I don't think my dad would be too thrilled for me to use his credit card to buy an online calculator (when I have a graphing calculator) just to calculate an integral or two. Plus, I am not positive that it could be calculated with just 2x the computing time.

If it means anything, here's the integral:
$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{\frac{-(x-b)^2 -(x-c)^2}{2a^2}}\cos(rx)dx$$

Input line: e^{{-(x-b)^2 -(x-c)^2}/{2a^2}}cos(rx)
Wow... I didn't even see that on my google search... Thank you!
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
