    MHB Calculating integral using polar coordinates

    Hey! :o Using polar coordinates I want to calculate $\iint_D \frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^2}dxdy$, where $D$ is the space that is determined by the inequalities $x+y\geq 1$ and $x^2+y^2\leq 1$. We consider the function $T$ with $(x,y)=T(r,\theta)=(r\cos \theta, r\sin\theta)$. From the inequality...

    I Asymptotic expansion integral initial step

    Consider the integral $$ G(x) = \int_0^\infty \frac{e^{-xt}}{1+t}dt$$ which is convergent for x>0. For large x, it is dominated by small t so expand: $$G(x) = \int_0^\infty e^{-xt}\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}(-t)^mdt$$ From here my notes say to take out the summation and write: $$G(x) =...

    I Is there a way to find the indefinite integral of e^(-x^2) or e^(x^2)?

    I was wandering if there is a way to understand whether it is possible to find an indefinite integral of a function. Let's say e^(-x^2) or e^(x^2)... They can't have indefinite integrals, but how can I say it? Is there a theorem or something?
