<abstract language="eng">In this note, by manipulating the sums obtained from certain finite products of trigonometric functions at rational multiples of , I put them in the form of Riemann sums. By taking the limit as the number of (equally-spaced) subintervals tends to infinity, I have found exact closed-form results for some non-trivial integrals, e.g.    and  I also show how the method applies for the prompt evaluation of more complex integrals, such as      and  Since this approach does not involve any search for primitives, it can be a good alternative to more complex integration techniques.</abstract>
