Hi, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to integrate (sin(x)/x) or
at least what the intergral is? I think it might be by substitution but I
cannot get the answer. Thanks for your help.

The indefinite integral of sin(x)/x can not be expressed in closed form
in terms of elementary functions. For definite integrals of sin(x)/x,
look at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SineIntegral.html

Hope this helps,

yeah, sin x/x is a taylor expansion key in the solution of the riemann zeta for
n=2.
