In summary, the integral csc^2x ln(tanx) dx can be solved using integration by parts. The steps for integrating this function include using a substitution, applying the integration by parts formula, simplifying using trigonometric identities, and evaluating the integral. The final solution is -ln(tanx) - cotx + C, with two special cases to consider. This integral can also be solved using a substitution u = cosx, but integration by parts is the most common and efficient method.

integrate ln(tanx)/sinxcosx dx
I want to change to integrate csc2x ln(tanx) dx , still can't work it out.
Any suggestions?

[tex]\int \frac{\ln(\tan x)}{\sin x\cos x} dx [/tex] can be integrated very easily if u multiply both the denominator & the numerator by \cos x and make the substitution \tan x -------->u and then a simple part integration...

Daniel.

Or you could try the substitution u = ln(tan(x)).
