    Given how often you use them, a mini course on special functions would be most fitting and welcome.

    Hi, You can simplify a bit, knowing that g(z+1)=z g(z) , you can write : g(1 -1/n) = -g(-1/n) / n so : I = -g(-1/n) / (n^(1/n)) "terribly sorry about that" : 1:15 , 4:32 , 4:38 , 13:36 , "ok, cool" : 2:05 , 3:35 , 4:30 , 4:38 , 6:12 , 7:36 , 9:45 , 12:09 , 12:56 ,.

    You should try to generalize the indefinite integral of any inverse function!

    why introduce the lambert W function in the first place? we know that ye^y= 1/x^n through this alone we can find dx in terms of dy and then boom you get the same result

    12:45 If I'm not wrong you forgot to write a factor of N outside the factorisation so technically it should be N ^2-1/N right?

    When I did the problem, I simplified further with Euler's reflection formula. I don't know if it was worth it.

    Is there any easier integrals that involve this type of recursive integral? This is really cool but so much algebraic manipulation and W function

    Well we don't do easy integrals here quite often. We do really tough ones that teach people new concepts. I encourage you to do further research about the Lambert function. Trust me you'll enjoy it insha'Allah

    @@maths_505 Oh I would gladly do an integral like this, it's just I like challenging my less experienced friends with interesting integrals. Was wondering if you or anyone else had any pretty ones like this that could be doable for someone with around A-Level experience ☺️

If N is negative, the bounds are [0,♾️]. If N=0, the bounds are [w,w], where w=W(1) is transcendental, and I becomes 0 because the bounds are the same. Thus, there's a factor of sgn(N).

    It wasn't until the end of the video that he stated that N is a positive integer. Still, I think the sgn(N) is p cool
