For $\alpha \ne 0$, integration by substitution $t=\alpha x$ givesAt $\alpha =0$ the integrand is one, so $I(0)=1$, also the continuous limit of this expression. For nonzero $\alpha$, differentiation under the integral sign is valid on the finite interval and yieldsSet $\alpha =\sqrt{3}$ and use $\arctan \sqrt{3}=\pi /3$. The requested value is
