let put  I= ∫_0 ^1   ((lnx)/(x−1))dx  I=−∫_0 ^1   ((lnx)/(1−x))dx=− ∫_0 ^1  (Σ_(n=0) ^(+∞)  x^n )lnx dx  =− Σ_(n=0) ^(+∞)   ∫_0 ^1   x^n lnxdx  let integrate by parts  ∫^1 _0  x^n lnxdx= [ (1/(n+1))x^(n+1) lnx]_(x→0) ^(x=1)    − ∫_0 ^1   (1/(n+1)) x^(n+1)  (dx/x)  =−(1/(n+1)) ∫_0 ^1  x^n dx= −(1/((n+1)^2 ))  I= Σ_(n=0) ^(+∞)     (1/((n+1)^2 ))= Σ_(n=1) ^(+∞)    (1/n^2 )= (π^2 /6)  .
