Trigonometric integrals

Summary

The trigonometric integrals are the sine integral Si⁡(x)=∫0xsin⁡tt dt\operatorname{Si}(x) = \int_0^x \frac{\sin t}{t}\, dt and the cosine integral Ci⁡(x)=−∫x∞cos⁡tt dt\operatorname{Ci}(x) = -\int_x^\infty \frac{\cos t}{t}\, dt, with their hyperbolic versions Shi⁡\operatorname{Shi} and Chi⁡\operatorname{Chi}. They are antiderivatives of sin⁡xx\frac{\sin x}{x} and cos⁡xx\frac{\cos x}{x}, which have no elementary antiderivatives. The sine integral tends to π2\frac{\pi}{2}, the value of the Dirichlet integral, and its overshoot describes the Gibbs phenomenon of Fourier series. They are closely related to the exponential integral.
