Well, my method uses integrating over a contour in the complex plane and taking real and imaginary parts.

Which is pretty cool because... well, it is.

if i survive until honours - i might like to dabble in this sort of thing.

In what sort of thing? Using contour integration to evaluate real integrals isn't exactly an honours project...

In what? Complex analysis.

It's fascinating. Obviously not going to write on... second year topics. But if the deeper stuff is just as fun and great as what I'm learning now - then... why not? It should be awesome fun

Cool, yep complex is very nice!

$\begin{align} &\int \sqrt{\csc x-\sin x}\; dx\\& \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{e^x-1}}\;dx\end{align}$

$\mathbf{1.} \int \sqrt{\csc x - \sin x} dx$

$= \int \sqrt{\frac{1 - \sin ^2x}{\sin x}}dx$

$= \int \frac{\cos x}{\sqrt{\sin x}}dx$

$= 2\sqrt{\sin x} + c$

$\mathbf{2.} \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{e^x - 1}}dx$

$$Let $ u^2 = e^x - 1$

$2udu = e^xdx$

$\frac{2u}{u^2 + 1}du = dx$

$\therefore \int \frac{1}{u} \times \frac{2u}{u^2 + 1}du$

$= \int \frac{2}{u^2 + 1}du$

$= 2tan^{-1}u$

$= 2tan^{-1}(\sqrt{e^x - 1}) + c$

Good job

Here's a decent one.

$\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{\sin x}}$

$\frac{2\sqrt{sinx}}{cosx}} + C?$

Fine I'll LaTeX it up.

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

Nah no need to latex, a brief explanation will do.

Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

$\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{\sin x}}$

$Let~u = \sqrt{sinx}$

$dx = \frac{2\sqrt{sinx}du}{cosx}$

$dx = \frac{2udu}{cosx}$

$\int \frac{1}{u} \frac{2udu}{cosx}$

$\int \frac{2}{cosx}du$

$\frac{2u}{cosx} + C$

$\frac{2\sqrt{sinx}}{cosx} + C$

lol it took me less than 3 minutes to LaTeX that up (look at post times).

LaTeX speed winning.

Your cos and sine functions didn't have \ in front of them, 2/10.

What? I don't see anything wrong with it

$sinx$

$\sinx$

What do you mean? The slash doesn't work?
