OT: Calculus

[Bruce Weaver]

As noted in the subject line, this is off-topic.  But some of you may get a kick out of it.  I can nearly remember almost enough calculus to appreciate it.  ;-)

Funny, I expected the result of the definite integral to be "2", but it
is "1". Is that the joke?

Ashamed... (I teach maths to one of my nephews).. I had miss-solved it
the first time (I didn't use pencil&paper). The answer IS indeed 2.
Maybe I am part of the group who doesn't know calculus...
