Laguerre’s historic solution is first recapitulated and then the new solution method is described in detail. Numerical results obtained from the present series solution are compared with the tabulated values correct to nine decimal places. Finally, comments are made for the further use of the present approach for integrals involving definite functions in denominator.展开更多
