By Partial Fraction Decomposition,

$1/{x^2(x-1)^2}=2/x+1/x^2+2/{x-1}+1/{(x-1)^2}$ .

$int{dx}/{x^2(x-1)^2}$

by the partial fractions above,

$=int2/x+1/x^2+2/{x-1}+1/{(x-1)^2}dx$

by Log Rule and Power Rule,

$=2ln|x|-1/x+2ln|x-1|-1/{x-1}+C$

How do I find the integral intdx/(x^2(x-1)^2)intdx/(x^2(x-1)^2) ?
