My books states that the integrals like $\int \frac{\sin x}{x}dx$ and $\int e^{x^2}dx$ exist but they cannot be easily evaluated by elementary functions.I feel it is more because I am unable to evaluate it but can someone please tell me if there is a closed form for them?
Integrating functions like $(\sin x)/x$

0@tired : I'm not sure that the given link is a duplicate. I don't think the OP asked for definite integrals, but rather for closed-form primitive functions. In my opinion the links given by J. M. are more relevant. There also is [this](http://math.stackexchange.com/q/830833) answer. – 2016-03-03
