$\Large\rm \int\limits_0^{\infty}\sin(x^2)dx\quad=\quad \text{Im}\left(\int\limits_0^{\infty}e^{i x^2}dx\right)$Looks like the error function kinda :) Hmm interesting problem.

@satellite73 not exactly, I'm not sure how to set it up properly for lack of doing any complex analysis for a few months now. I mostly used Euler's formula at the time, like zepdrix wrote here.

Oh your link didn't work when I first clicked it >.< Ah now I see.

oh i see from the link and apparently you need to know $\Gamma(\frac{1}{2})$

There's also a link to a page on MSE that uses real methods, which is a pretty neat approach.

Laplace transform, by the looks of it!
