CuriousLord -> Random Math Question (12/10/2007 10:20:39 PM)

I realize this probably is the worst place in the world to ask this, but I'm out of time and, at this point, just curious. As it's on a test, please, no answers.. I'm just curious if this even exists to human knowledge.
The integal of (c^2/e^(2c^2kt)-1)^.5 with respect to t.. is there any way to integrate that without resorting to the damn hypergeometric functions?
So far, my best answer is from http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp. But, honestly.. "0.---"?
Gah. This is what I get for not taking any Math classes lately. But, seriously, what the hell is my professor thinking, putting this on a timed test?

PS- This is due tommorow before noon. If anyone does, by some freakish chance, actually have a solution to this, I'd be interested in seeing it past such a time.
Also, this is a Physics problem. I was just solving it directly. It's entirely possible (actually, looking at this integral, practically certain) that there's another another way of solving this problem which doesn't involve the integrals from hell. I'm just ranting out of frustration and, well, let's face it.. I'm just curious if this integral's do-able since I can't seem to.
