It was very important to calculate explicitly a lot of examples. Doing so, a criterion was developed. With step curves and infinite series we had a quick look at the mathematical background. The shot in the universe showed that improper integrals are needed in physics.application/pdfimproper integralsstep curvesinfinite seriesthe law of gravitywork and energyescape velocityfolyóiratcikkOpen AccessHerbert Zeitlerhttps://doi.org/10.5485/TMCS.2010.0267Teaching Mathematics and Computer Science28Teach.
