Question 1206915: find by steps: int (e ^(e ^(x))) from 0 to 1 dx

As far as I'm aware, there is no nice closed form for this integral. The best you can do is approximate it. You can of course just plug it into a calculator, but another way to do it by hand is use the Taylor series of
The Taylor Series is So for , we get
We can integrate each term separately.

It's not hard to take the integral of the individual terms, in fact, we can see a general pattern among the answers we get (except for the first one),

Again, there is no closed form for this, but we can get a good approximation by evaluating a finite amount of terms (the more, the better the approximation). For example, evaluating the first 10 terms gives about 6.315786, which is quite close to the actual answer of 6.316563.
