On the evaluation of the Fresnel integral

#1

Post by Riemann »

We are aware of the Fresnel integral

\begin{equation} \int_0^\infty \sin x^2 \, {\rm d}x = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}} \end{equation}

The most common proof goes with complex analysis. Try to provide a proof with Real Analysis.

There are at least $2$ proofs. The one is more elegant than the other.
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$
