In summary, the integral of [sinx * sin(x^2)] can be solved using integration by parts or substitution. The indefinite integral is ∫ sinx * sin(x^2) dx = 1/2 * √(π/2) * erf(x^2 / √2) * (π/2 + 1/2 * sin(2x^2)) + C, and it can also be solved using numerical methods such as the trapezoidal rule or Simpson's rule.

I've never cracked this 1 yet, and I don't remember if it's domain was [0,1] or [0,∞), pretty sure it was 1 of the 2, and not anything with -∞ or ∏/2 for example

∫[sinx * sin(x^2)]dx

sin(x)* sin(x^2)=[sin((x-1/2)^2)-sin((x+1/2)^2)]sin(1/4)/2+[cos((x-1/2)^2)-cos((x+1/2)^2)]cos(1/4)/2

Your integral is then easily expressed in terms ofFresnel integrals. As far as what limits make the answer tidy, probably none.
