HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Where did you get this question from?

One of my colleagues suggested me this problem. By the way, why an exclamation like "Holy Crap" ?? Is this problem already present in Brilliant?
Did the exact same! Dominated Convergence Theorem can be a party pooper many a times.

First of all, understand what the above theorem says. It's very simple to understand, for those who don't know it, and I expect a lot of people to know it.
Denote P = ( 1 + n sin θ sec 2 θ ) cos θ , Q = ( 1 + n cos θ ) cot θ , R = ( 1 + n cot θ ) sin θ sec 2 θ
Thus we have the integral as n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln [ P Q R ] d θ
= n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( P ) d θ + n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( Q ) d θ + n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( R ) d θ
= ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( P ) d θ + ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( Q ) d θ + ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( R ) d θ
Now:
∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( P ) d θ = ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n sec θ ln ( 1 + n sec θ tan θ ) d θ
= ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n sec θ tan θ tan θ ln ( 1 + n sec θ tan θ ) d θ = ∫ π / 4 π / 3 tan θ d θ
Similarly:
∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( Q ) d θ
= ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim cot θ cos θ n cos θ ln ( 1 + n cos θ ) d θ = ∫ π / 4 π / 3 cot θ cos θ d θ
Similarly: ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim n ln ( R ) d θ
= ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n → ∞ lim sec θ n cot θ ln ( 1 + n cot θ ) d θ = ∫ π / 4 π / 3 sec θ d θ
Therefore we obtain:
n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( P ) d θ + n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( Q ) d θ + n → ∞ lim ∫ π / 4 π / 3 n ln ( R ) d θ
= ∫ π / 4 π / 3 ( tan θ + cot θ cos θ + sec θ ) d θ
And solving this elementary definite integral gives us the value:
ln ( 6 ( 3 + 1 ) 2 ) + ( 2 1 − 2 1 )
And therefore A + B + C + D + E = 1 5 .
