Calculus: Difficult Integration

Question on @Quora:

In the French Classe Préparatoire 1st year “Mathematiques Supérieures”,  we wanted to test our admired Math Prof whom we think was a “super know-all” mathematician. We asked him the above question. He immediately scolded us in the unique French mathematics rigor:

“L’intégration n’a pas de sense!
Quelle-est la domaine de définition?”

(The integration has no meaning! What is the domain of definition ?)

He was right! Under the British Math education, we lack the rigor of mathematics. We are skillful in applying many tricks to integrate whatever functions, but it is meaningless without specifying the domain (interval) in which the function is defined ! Bear in mind Integration of a function f (curve) is to calculate the Area under the curve f within an interval (or Domain, D). If f is not defined in D, then it is meaningless to integrate f because there won’t be…
