1. Theory
Integrals of the form Z
sin nx sin mx ,
and similar ones with products like sin nx cos mx and cos nx cos mx,
can be solved by making use of the following trigonometric identities:
1
sin A sin B = − [cos (A + B) − cos (A − B)]
2
1
sin A cos B = [sin (A + B) + sin (A − B)]
2
1
cos A cos B = [cos (A + B) + cos (A − B)]
