What method to use for specific integral containing arctan and sqrt?

Posted 10 years ago

How can software such as Wolfram Mathematica to be able to calculate integrals like $\int_0^1\frac{\arctan x}{x \sqrt{1-x^2}} \text{d}x = \frac{\pi}{2} \log\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)$? I know many ways to calculate it manually, but none of them even remotely algoritmizzabile. Some idea? Thank you!

One method used for symbolic integration is the Risch algorithm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risch_algorithm

Hi Manuela, You can try:

Integrate[ArcTan[x] /(x Sqrt[1 - x^2]), {x, 0, 1}] // TrigToExp
