Ok, this is embarassing, but Calc II was far and away my worst subject in all of college.

Let's say you have a 1/x function and you actually need to integrate this for a purpose instead of just for fun, so you have limite of integration on it.

considering the integral of 1/x is ln (x) ...

what do you do again if one of your limits of integration is 0 ...?

mathematically you get infininty if you integrate this because the ln of 0 is infinity .... BUT.

I actually need to figure out a way to quantify this equation for a useful purpose believe it or not.

All my old calc books are still packed up so I can't go look at them and I can't find a tutorial on the internet.

Help! I'm retarded!
