I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Boise State University.
From Fall 2005 until Spring 2008 I was the Harry Bateman Research Instructor at Caltech. I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2003 and spent a couple of years at the Kurt Gödel Research Center in Vienna. My webpage is here.

I found that with some algebra the first extra credit question can be solved using the integral table in the book, I assume this strategy will not be good enough to receive full credit. If it is could you let me know, if it isn’t is it possible for you to show me how they got the formula in the back of the book.

Jordan and I already talked about this, but for the benefit of others working on this problem: A serious part of the question is the reduction of the given expression to one of the ones that the book lists, so this certainly merits some partial credit. To obtain full credit, though, it would be best to integrate the new expression without appealing to the table in the back. To do this, perhaps the easiest approach is to use the trick described in problem 11 of the second part of the self-test.
