§7.14(ii) Fresnel Integrals

Notes:: For (7.14.5) and (7.14.6) integrate by parts, and use (7.7.15) and (7.7.16). For (7.14.7) and (7.14.8) consider the integrals $\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{{-at}}\left(\mathop{C\/}\nolimits\!\left(\sqrt{2t/\pi}% \right)\pm i\mathop{S\/}\nolimits\!\left(\sqrt{2t/\pi}\right)\right)dt$ and integrate by parts. The results are $1\Bigm/\left(a\sqrt{2(a\mp i)}\right)$ , from which (7.14.7) and (7.14.8) follow.
