Here's a non-real way of solving Fresnel's integrals: the integral of sin(x^2) and cos(x^2) from -inf to inf. We will need to use the Gaussian integral, which is the integral of e^(-x^2) from -inf to inf and the result is equal to sqrt(pi). However, we will also need to use the imaginary unit i, but I am not sure...

This is how Laplace solved the Gaussian Integral: youtu.be/tCPQSobqFh4?si=SJRTU1qypNikY_E3
