Abstract
The aim of this paper is to show in what way we investigated improper integrals in the classroom. It was very important to calculate explicitly a lot of examples. Doing so, a criterion was developed. With step curves and infinite series we had a quick look at the mathematical background. The shot in the universe showed that improper integrals are needed in physics.
