Dear Sourabh,

There is no elementary function whose derivative is ex2. By elementary function we mean something obtained using arithmetical operations and composition from the standard functions we all know and love. But this is not a serious problem. A few important definite integrals involving ex2 have pleasant closed form.

Actually we can integrate that function but involves a higher level of calculus.
