Feynman technique: integral of (x-1)/ln(x) from 0 to 1
We will do the integral of (x-1)/ln(x) from 0 to 1 by using Feynman's technique of integration (aka differentiation under the integral sign). This integration technique is usually not taught in calculus classes. Check out the previous integral of ln(x)/(x-1) from 0 to 1: 👉 • integral of ln(x)/(x-1...

π^2/6 or ln(2), which one did you guys like more??

blackpenredpen spoiler alert 🙄
Frullani had an integral and Leibnitz made a rule. Differentiation under the integral sign was Feynman's favourite tool

If we make the substitution u = ln x then the integrand becomes a fraction with u on the bottom. The result turns out to be a Frullani integral and the general solution to these can also be found with the trick that Feynman used, as shown in this video, where a parameter is introduced and the order of integration is changed. Evaluating it in this way would be a useful study exercise. Hint: consider the integral of e^-bu with respect to b
What a coincidence....!!!! Your video is of 14:58 mins, which is an interesting number.When its digits are added,the produces sum multiplied by its reverse give the original number.. 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 =18 and18 * 81 = 1458.There are only 3 non trivials number 81,1458 and 1729 (Ramanujan number 😊😊)...

I agree. If you don't know what you could do next, some more examples of this would be nice. I guess.
Hi dear, In general case, you should check the conditions. For example, for b -1. Thank you for your videos and explanations.
This might sound weird, but you can perform a technique called "integration under the integral sign" here: you recognise 1 as x^0 and x as x^1. Remember the derivative of a^x is ln a . a^x. We can simplify the integrand to the integral from 0 to 1 of x^u du. Given the interval , we can switch the order of integration and integrate with respect to x first and the w.r.t u. This gives the result of ln(2) super fast!
perfect. differentiation under the integral sign is just amazing. if only there were more exames of it...
To be perfectly honest I like ln (2) more. Because I ve already known the result of the first integral since 2002. Thank Dr and keep going
both were amazing and what’s even more amazing is that i was able to do them both, which i didn’t expect at all
best and simplest example of Feynmann techniqe, I've seen many example of Feynmann Integrate but using complicated function (hard to understand for beginner)
Wait, I'm new to calculus and i think (x-1)/lnx is not defined at x =0 right, or we can just ignore that
What an interesting technique! I've never learned this! Thanks
My cat is also black & white. This version is cooler. Because of Feynman.

yeaah part 2 won great well its impossible to figure out by looking at just integrals so awesome great work
So for b=e-1 The area is 1 :)
Very good explanation
Sir you saved my homework! thank you a lot!!!! was megahelpfull! =)
since ln(2) is the result of the alternating harmonic serie, is it possible to use the first method (or similar) to resolve the second integral?
More of these videos with this technique!!!
So good! This video was cool too, but I think I liked part 1 more tho
I tried this just from the thumbnail and I actually managed it, I genuinely can’t believe I did that!
very helpful video on integration topic
Very nice video! 13:10 the function isn't defined at x=0 which is one of the values in the integration.
Both are just amazing and so different in technique. Difficult to choose
This one! Great technique.
Both are awesome. So I like both equally.
You could also use the Laplace transform to solve this integral as well by setting ln(x)=-u. I would say I like π^2/6 more. When I first heard of it, I thought what does pi have to do with the sum of the inverse squares and why is pi squared?
The techniques used look quite clear (even I couldn't prove order of integral and derivative could be changed etc.), but too often it might be nearly impossible to see what technique to use.
This is a super interesting technique
How do we know that when we should use the Feynman's technique?
Cool! I am ashamed to having substituted and used the taylor series for e^u to get the alternating harmonic series.
So satisfying to watch

This is soooo good❤
I tried to calculate as f(a)=integral from ((x-1)/lnx)*exp(alnx), then f'(a)will be integral from (x-1)x^a, it's 1/(a+2)-(1/a+1), then I integrate it, I will get ln|(a+2)/(a+1)|, for a=0 I have the same result. Is it all right??
at 13:23 you talk about the 0/ln(0) = 0 but isn't that an improper intergral? Feels like we skipped a step.
Hey I use power series firstly i let u=lnx then i wrote down the integral in terms of power series of e^u then in the last i had to substitute infinity in that series and i was like blown up can u tell why did that infinity kinda thing happened...

Thank you so very much sir.
When you Calc I(0) from the definition you are taking x^0 as 1. But we know that the definite Integral is between 0 to 1. at x=0 we will have the indeterminate 0^0?
π^2/6 is amazing 😍😍😍
I suppose theoretical physicists keep coming up with this stuff when they get stuck on some crazy integrals in the course of their work. Feynman did so much for physics and still chips in with some new math. What a guy.
What happens if the power is -1? Does the integral not converge?
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
This is really cool.
Is c being 0 just in this case or always when using feynman technique
That was soo amazing...
Quick question: shouldn't we study the convergence of the integral first ? An then, I wonder how...
Brillant! I remember when you used this trick to calculate the integral on sin(x)e^(-bx) :) Could we get a general answer for integral from 0 to t of (x-1)/ln(x), saying I'(b) = t^(b+1)/(b+1)? Or it would be impossible to integrate?

Finally I understood it
If we integrate I’(b) from 0 to 1 right away we wouldnt have to deal with the C, since the answer falls out from the ∫ₐᵇ f(x)dx = F(b) - F(a). Like this I(1) = ∫₀¹ 1/(b+1)db = ln(b+1)|₀¹ = ln(2) - ln(1) = ln(2), since we can see that ln(1) goes away. The method you show is safer in case we have an integral Where we can’t observe this
Amazing!
π^2/6 is my fav
Love it
Thx a lot dude! Now it makes click and bulb 💡 in my brain 🧠 is on! 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻perfect 😬😬😬

I like this one more than the other because I actually understood this, althought pi^2/6 is a more special number to me :)))))
I can't believe it took us so many centuries to figure this technique out.

Feynman was just The Man!
when you cancelled out 0^(b+1), you have assumed that b+1>0. So no abs value is needed for ln(b+1). idk if this is correct :3

@blackpenredpen

Honestly, I am not sure. I learned a lot of things on my own. Maybe perhaps in physics? Especially when you have to integrate sin(x)/x And I am sure others can provide their answers here too!
So are you deriving with respect to 1??
Do you believe we should teach Calculus students this technique at the end of Calc II? It wouldn't be hard to give a brief introduction to partial differentiation just so you can introduce multivariate calculus via this technique. It's a great combination of differential and integral calculus that goes a level deeper than the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, don't you think?
I liked the power series but this one was good too
it's pretty good
I know that you addressed what happens if you have a bound of 0 with ln(x) in the integrand in the last video. My question is, when you're solving for C in this video, you get x^0 in the integrand, which is another problem when x=0. I know that lim x->0 (x^x) = 1, but it just doesn't feel right to apply that here. Can you elaborate on why this is okay?
@burk314

When dealing with the improper integral (lets focus on the problem at 0 and ignore the one at 1 for this), we technically turn it into the limit lim(a->0) int_a^1 (x^0-1)/ln(x) dx On this domain [a,1], we have x^0=1 with no issue. Therefore, we compute the integral, getting int_a^1 (x^0-1)/ln(x) dx=0, and then the limit of 0 remains 0. So, yes 0^0 is indeterminate, but we can basically side-step the issue.

Right.. improper Riemann integrals are another option. In my explanation I was talking about Lebesgue integrals, though. In both cases the point is that the boundary point 0 is not needed to be defined.
We need calculus3 also
Please integrate logX/1-x^2 ..please
both equally challenging
Alternating harmonic series vs the basel problem, your choice.

It seems like Feynman technique can be treated as a result of interchanging the order of integration of an iterated integral.
9:56 is that not an error??? 1^(b+1) is not == 1 1^(b+1) = (1^b)*(1^1) THEREFORE its 1^b/(b+1) inside the integral?!
