Improper integral
An improper integral is a definite integral that has either or both limits infinite or an integrand that approaches infinity at one or more points in the range of integration. Some such integrals can sometimes be computed by replacing infinite limits with finite values and then taking the limit as the value approaches infinity:
The
integral
is an example of an integrand that approaches infinity at a point in the range
of integration. This integral can be calculated as a
limit:
