Integral cosine plot for 0 < x ≤ 8π.
The integral cosine is a special function defined by the integral [1]
or:
Where - Euler-Mascheroni constant .
Other definitions are sometimes used:
It is also possible to determine the integral cosine through the integral exponential function by analogy with the usual cosine [2] :
The integral cosine was introduced by Lorenzo Mascheroni in 1790 .
