> Compute the [Fresnel integral][fresnel-integral] S(x).

<section class="intro">

The [Fresnel integral][fresnel-integral] S(x) is defined as

<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:fresnel_integral" align="center" raw="S(x) = \int_0^x \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} t^2\right)\,\mathrm{d}t." alt="Fresnel integral S(x)"> -->

<div class="equation" align="center" data-raw-text="S(x) = \int_0^x \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} t^2\right)\,\mathrm{d}t." data-equation="eq:fresnel_integral">

<!-- </equation> -->

Some sources define S(x) using t<sup>2</sup> for the argument of the sine. To get this function, multiply the computed integral by `√(π/2)` and multiply the argument `x` by `√(2/π)`.

## Usage

```javascript
var fresnels = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fresnels' );
```

#### fresnels( x )

Computes the [Fresnel integral][fresnel-integral] S(x).

```javascript
var v = fresnels( 0.0 );
// returns ~0.0

v = fresnels( 1.0 );
// returns ~0.438

v = fresnels( Infinity );
// returns ~0.5

v = fresnels( -Infinity );
// returns ~-0.5

v = fresnels( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var linspace = require( '@stdlib/array/linspace' );
var fresnels = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/fresnels' );

var x = linspace( 0.0, 10.0, 100 );
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < x.length; i++ ) {
    console.log( fresnels( x[ i ] ) );
}
```
