Concerning the Integral dx/x[superscript m] (1+x)
Walters, William; Huber, Michael
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v41 n8 p1073-1076 2010
Consider the integral dx/x[superscript m] (1+x). In the "CRC Standard Mathematical Tables," this integral can require repeated integral evaluations. Enter this integral into your favourite computer algebra system, and the results may be unrecognizable. In this article, we seek to provide a simpler evaluation for integrals of this form. We state up front that the exponent "m" need not be an integer.
