Please help me and show me how to do the intregral e^(x^2). Dont bother giving me the answer I have the answer, but I want to know how to solve it. I tried parts but it did not work.
Thank you

I found the anwer of the WolfRam integrator.

As sahjing said, this integral cannot be solved in terms of elementary functions (i.e. ln, sin, cos, tan, etc). Substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric identities, trigonometric substitution, and partial fractions will all fail to solve that integral.
The integral of sin(x^2) is also not possible to express in terms of elementary functions. In later Calculus, however, we learn methods to approximate the integral in terms of an infinite series.

I would be very interested in knowing how you found "the answer." The other respondents are correct!

You can't find the anti-derivative of e^(x^2) in analytical form.
