Dirichlet integral

In mathematics, there are several integrals known as the Dirichlet integral, after the German mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet.

One of those is

\int_0^\infty \frac{sin(\omega)}{\omega}\,d\omega = \frac{\pi}{2}

This can be proven using a Fourier integral representation.
