    clean integration as always, did not expect the eta function. nice

    Wanna know how I came up with it.... I was evaluating a log integral. Made substitution x=e^u and forgot to transform the differential element. Ended up getting a result that didnt agree with wolfram alpha. Retraced my steps, realized the mistake and then completely discarded the original integral in favor of evaluating this one born from a mistake during the original solution development 😂😂😂

    There's is an easier approach by adding and subtracting x^2*e^x in the numerator followed by integration parts (zero integral). The two integrals you get are textbook results.

    Performing the integration of a wild function like this one is pretty much like the saying from Bilbo Baggins: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to."

    No freakin way... I saw the thumbnail and spent 30 (or so) minutes trying to solve this damn thing. I tried a substitution, even a contour integral, all failing miserably. Then I got the idea to find an asymptotic series expansion of (z+1)^(-2) to transform the integral into a series problem. That ended up working out quite well. I basically did exactly what you did in retrospect, and somehow got the answer correct, which blew my mind. Thanks for putting me on a roller coaster.

    It might be crazy but I think a contour integral does work. I’m close to developing a solution for this one using a rectangular contour.

    It would be easier if you multiplied by e^x and e^(-x) and did integration by parts, then you wouldn't need the derivative of the geometric series. It wouldn't be worth it, otherwise I'd do a video on it :) I feel this integral is generated by you in your mind or did you take it from somewhere? ;)

    I think this can also be done by contour integration + "logarithmic feynman technique" (believe it or not) so we dobedo a u-sub, get ln(u)^2/u(1+u)^2, then we define I(s)=1/((u-1)^s*u^2 ) (becareful whilst defining the branch and how it operates, since we'll be using a keyhole contour the positive real line will be avoided regardlessly). now our desired integral is I(1)''. proceeding with the contour integration and differentiating should yeild the result... I guess LOL edit: no it won't work since there are no residues inside our contour... and many other reasons. specifically that the integral """does not converge""" but luckly if we don't use the x-1 sub, we get that our defined I(s) is actually 1/2(sH(s-1/2)- sH(s/2)+1 ) which might lead to something nice. where Hn is the nth harmonic number.

I guess I could try something along the lines of teaching some undergrad physics....but right now I'm working on other things. Thanks for the suggestion though....its actually a nice proposition. But right now the channel is pretty much tough math for fun but I'd love for it to branch out in different ways in the future. But I am never letting go of doing awesome calculus and differential equations just for the thrill of it.
