Hi,
Could some one tell me how to do the following indefinite integral


integral { ln (sin x) dx }

I thought I can do this by integration by parts. But it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks

I remembered seeing this before somewhere and Google was my friend.

You may struggle with an indefinite integral!!!

Isn't that the definite integral which is possible?

Yay for complex numbers.

the 'polylogarithm function'?

I get dibs on the loganomial function

Hi,
Thanks for every one who responded. I made a mistake. It was the improper integral, that I needed to find.

Actually the definite integral I needed to find is integral {ln (t*cos t) dt.}

I think I should be able to do it now with the above help.

Thanks for the help again.

Thanks for every one for the help. My problem is resolved.
