Improper Integral
A definite integral for
which the integrand has
a discontinuity between the bounds
of integration, or which
has ∞ and/or –∞ as
a bound. Improper integrals are evaluated using limits as
shown below. If the limit exists and is finite, we say the integral
converges.
If the limit does not exist or is infinite, we say the integral
diverges.
