Integrals involving only logarithmic functions

∫ log a ⁡ x d x = x ln ⁡ x − x ln ⁡ a ∫ ln ⁡ a x d x = x ln ⁡ a x − x ∫ ln ⁡ ( a x + b ) d x = ( a x + b ) ln ⁡ ( a x + b ) − a x a ∫ ( ln ⁡ x ) 2 d x = x ( ln ⁡ x ) 2 − 2 x ln ⁡ x + 2 x ∫ ( ln ⁡ x ) n d x = x ∑ k = 0 n ( − 1 ) n − k n ! k !

Integrals involving logarithmic and power functions

Integrals involving logarithmic and trigonometric functions

∫ sin ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) d x = x 2 ( sin ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) − cos ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) ) ∫ cos ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) d x = x 2 ( sin ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) + cos ⁡ ( ln ⁡ x ) )

Integrals involving logarithmic and exponential functions

∫ e x ( x ln ⁡ x − x − 1 x ) d x = e x ( x ln ⁡ x − x − ln ⁡ x ) ∫ 1 e x ( 1 x − ln ⁡ x ) d x = ln ⁡ x e x ∫ e x ( 1 ln ⁡ x − 1 x ln 2 ⁡ x ) d x = e x ln ⁡ x

n consecutive integrations

For n consecutive integrations, the formula

∫ ln ⁡ x d x = x ( ln ⁡ x − 1 ) + C 0

generalizes to

∫ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ∫ ln ⁡ x d x ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ d x = x n n ! ( ln x − ∑ k = 1 n 1 k ) + ∑ k = 0 n − 1 C k x k k !
