calculate  ∫_0 ^1   ((lnx)/((1−x)^2 ))dx
$${calculate}\:\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \:\:\frac{{lnx}}{\left(\mathrm{1}−{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }{dx} \\ $$

let A =∫_0 ^1  ((ln(x))/((1−x)^2 ))dx  we have  Σ_(n=0) ^∞  x^n  =(1/(1−x))  with ∣x∣<1 ⇒  Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nx^(n−1) =(1/((1−x)^2 )) ⇒  A =∫_0 ^1 (Σ_(n=1) ^∞  nx^(n−1) )ln(x)dx  =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ n ∫_0 ^1 x^(n−1) ln(x)dx=Σ_(n=1) ^∞ nw_n   by parts  u^′ =x^(n−1)   and v=ln(x) ⇒  w_n =[(1/n)x^n ln(x)]_0 ^1 −∫_0 ^1 (1/n)x^n  (dx/x)  =−(1/n) ∫_0 ^1  x^(n−1) dx =−(1/n)[(1/n) x^n ]_0 ^1   =−(1/n^2 ) ⇒ A =Σ_(n=1) ^∞ n(−(1/n^2 ))  =−Σ_(n=1) ^∞  (1/n) =−∞  so this integral  diverges....!
