Theorem
- $\dfrac {\d \mathrm C} {\d x} = \sqrt {\dfrac 2 \pi} \cos x^2$
where $\mathrm C$ denotes the Fresnel cosine integral function.
Proof
We have, by the definition of the Fresnel cosine integral function:
- $\ds \map {\mathrm C} x = \sqrt {\dfrac 2 \pi} \int_0^x \cos u^2 \rd u$
By Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (First Part): Corollary, we therefore have:
- $\dfrac {\d \mathrm C} {\d x} = \sqrt {\dfrac 2 \pi} \cos x^2$
