Thank you! My understanding of calculus is only at an undergrad engineering level. And that was 6 years ago. And I didn't do very well at the time! I'm just getting myself back to where I left off and hopefully farther. Thanks!

In[2]:= Integrate[-1/(x - 1), x]

Out[2]= -Log[1 - x]

In[3]:= Integrate[1/(1 - x), x]

Out[3]= -Log[1 - x]

I really wish I saw this myself. Very simple explanation. Thanks!
