Integral of cos(ln(x)) dx: A Third Method Via Euler's Identity
\begin{align*} & \int \cos \left( \ln (x) \right) \: dx = \dfrac{x}{2} \left( \cos \left( \ln (x) \right) + \sin \left( \ln (x) \right) \right) + C \\& \\& {\rm{Proof}}:
Ramanujan's Beautiful Master Formula: Integral From 0 to ∞ (e)^(-x^n)sin(x^n) dx

Integral from 0 to 1 ln(x)ln(1-x) dx

Integral from 0 to ∞ [x^a/(x^b+1)] dx
\begin{align*}& I(a, b) = \int_0^\infty \dfrac{x^a}{x^b+1} dx =\dfrac{\beta(\dfrac{a+1}{b}, 1-\dfrac{a+1}{b})}{b} \\& \\& {\rm{Proof}}: \\& \\& \therefore u=x^b \Longrightarrow \int_0^\infty \dfrac{u^{\frac{a-b+1}{b}}}{b(u+1)} du \\& \\& \therefore \int_0^\infty \dfrac{u^{\frac{a-b+1}{b}}}{b(u+1)} du = \dfrac{\beta(\dfrac{a+1}{b}, 1-\dfrac{a+1}{b})}{b} \\&
Feynman's Trick: Integral from 0 to ∞ [(e^(-x)-e^(-bx))/x] dx
\begin{align*}& I(b) = \int_0^\infty \dfrac{e^{-x}-e^{-bx}}{x} dx = \ln{(b)}\\& \\& {\rm{Proof}}: \\& \\& I'(b) = \int_0^\infty e^{-bx} dx = \dfrac{1}{b} \\& \\& \therefore I(b) = \ln{(b)} + C \\& \\& \therefore
Integral from 0 to 1 [ln(x)/(x-1)] dx
BPRP solved this integral using power series back in 2017. Today I will solve it using the Bose Integral. \begin{align*}& \int_0^1 \dfrac{\ln{(x)}}{x-1} dx = \dfrac{\pi^2}{6} \\& \\& Proof: \\& \\&
