The integral of sin x2 is one of the Fresnel Integrals.

It does not have a closed form solution. However, you can calculate a series solution by integrating the Taylor series, as follows:

The Taylor series expansion about x = 0 for sin x is

sin x = x - (x3/3!) + (x5/5!) - (x7/7!) +/- ...

Substitution of x2 for x yields

sinx2 = x2 - (x6/3!) + (x10/5!) - (x14/7!) +/- ...

Term-wise integration, using the power rule gives

{integral}sinx2 = (x3/3) - (x7/7*3!) + (x11/11*5!) - (x15/15*7!) +/- ...

This is the answer. It is the Fresnel Integral S(x).

There is a similar one for the integral of cos x2, called C(x).

It can be written in more compact form:

S(x) = (Sum from n = 1 to infinity) of (-1)n x4n+3/(4n+3)*(2n+1)!

It looks better in Sigma notation, with fractions, but

if you work out the first 4 terms, you will see agreement with the result for integrating the series expansion.

What is sine squared?

Answer 1 Put simply, sine squared is sinX x sinX. However, sine is a function, so the real question must be 'what is sinx squared' or 'what is sin squared x': 'Sin(x) squared' would be sin(x^2), i.e. the 'x' is squared before performing the function sin. 'Sin squared x' would be sin^2(x) i.e. sin squared times sin squared: sin(x) x sin(x). This can also be written as (sinx)^2 but means exactly the same. Answer 2 Sine squared is sin^2(x). If the power was placed like this sin(x)^2, then the X is what is being squared. If it's sin^2(x) it's telling you they want sin(x) times sin(x).
