Theorem

The following formula holds for $m,n \in \{0,1,2,\ldots\}$: $$\int_{-1}^1 \dfrac{T_m(x)T_n(x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \mathrm{d}x = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0 &; m \neq n \\ \dfrac{\pi}{2} &; m=n\neq 0 \\ \pi &; m=n=0, \end{array} \right.$$ where $T_m$ denotes Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind.

Proof
