It would be helpful to mention the result used (MCT) in exchanging the order of summation and integral in the first line.
Good point: i was being a bit too casual there. The edit has been made. :)

By way of the Monotone Convergence Theorem , we can write the sum of integrals as
I = n = 1 ∑ ∞ ∫ 0 4 π sin n ( x ) d x = ∫ 0 4 π n = 1 ∑ ∞ sin n ( x ) d x .
Now for any x in [ 0 , 4 π ] we have that ∣ sin ( x ) ∣ < 1 , and thus
n = 1 ∑ ∞ sin n ( x ) = 1 − sin ( x ) sin ( x ) = 1 − sin ( x ) sin ( x ) ∗ 1 + sin ( x ) 1 + sin ( x ) =
cos 2 ( x ) sin ( x ) + sin 2 ( x ) = cos 2 ( x ) sin ( x ) + cos 2 ( x ) 1 − cos 2 ( x ) = cos 2 ( x ) sin ( x ) + sec 2 ( x ) − 1 .
The indefinite integral of this expression (without the constant) is
sec ( x ) + tan ( x ) − x ,
where the substitution u = cos ( x ) was used to evaluate the integral of the first term. Evaluating this last expression from x = 0 to x = 4 π gives us the solution
I = ( 2 + 1 − 4 π ) − ( 1 + 0 − 0 ) = 2 − 4 π = 0 . 6 2 8 8
to 4 decimal places, and thus ⌊ 1 0 0 0 I ⌋ = 6 2 8 .
