Mar 29, 2017 at 20:32 | comment | added | Mike Pierce | Wow, that's really nifty. :) And this integral is surprising related to some other problems I've been thinking about. I think you can also evaluate this one by writing it all in terms of $\tan^n(\theta)$ (or $\cot^n(\theta)$), making a substitution $u = \tan(\theta)$, and then using this cheeky trick. | |
