The infinite contributions from the two symmetrical shaded parts shown exactly cancel in this limit. Integrals evaluated in this way are said to be (Cauchy) principal value (PV) integrals:

Cauchy Principal Value Integrals (cont.)
1/x singularities are examples of singularities integrable only in the principal value (PV) sense.
Principal value integrals must not start or end at the singularity, but must pass through them to permit cancellation of infinities
