Integral Representation
The logarithmic integral has an integral representation defined for all positive real numbers by the definite integral:
Here, denotes the natural logarithm. The function has a singularity at t = 1, and the integral for x > 1 has to be interpreted as a Cauchy principal value:

Famous quotes containing the word integral:
“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of him—an integral piece—is being torn from him.”
