Hi group,

I observed the following strange behaviour:

In[1]:= intval=Integrate[ArcTanh[x]Sin[Pi x] 
/x^(3/2),{x,-Infinity,Infinity}];
N[intval,20]
Out[2]= -1.25202170984968414370-0.44549963468032208018 I

In[3]:= NIntegrate[ArcTanh[x]Sin[Pi x] 
x^(-3/2),{x,-Infinity,Infinity},WorkingPrecision->20,MaxRecursion->40]
Out[3]= 0.4454583760949374777+1.2524304857355799863 I

weird, isn't it?

Cheers,
Peter

P.S.: The CAS which must not be named here (you know which one):
evalf[20](Int(arctanh(x)*sin(Pi*x)/x^(3/2),x=-infinity..infinity));

0.44549963468032208018 + 1.2520217098496841437 I
