Conventional wisdom assumes that the indefinite integral of the probability density function for the standard normal distribution cannot be expressed in finite elementary terms. While this is true, there is an expression for this anti-derivative in infinite elementary terms that, when being differentiated, directly yields the standard normal density function. We derive this function using infinite partial integration and review its relation to the cumulative distribution function for the standard normal distribution and the error function.
