integration - how to calculate the integral of sin2(x)/x2





sin2(x)/x2=π according to wolfram alpha. That is such a beautiful result! But how do I calculate this integral by hand?


Thanks in advance.


Answer



The answer may be found by using complex analysis, specifically the residue theorem. A full deriviation may be found here.


I know of an easy way to derive this result using real analysis alone.
