∫_0 ^1 (dx/(1+x^n ))=∫_0 ^1 Σ_(p=0) ^∞ (−1)^p x^(np) dx =Σ_(p=0) ^∞ (−1)^p ∫_0 ^1 x^(np) dx =Σ_(p=0) ^∞ (((−1)^p )/(np+1)) =Σ_(k=0) ^∞ (1/(2nk+1))−Σ_(k=0) ^∞ (1/((2k+1)n+1)) =Σ_(k=0) ^∞ ((1/(2nk+1))−(1/(2nk+n+1))) =nΣ_(k=0) ^∞ (1/((2nk+1)(2nk+n+1))) =(n/(4n^2 ))Σ_(k=0) ^∞ (1/((k+(1/(2n)))(k+((n+1)/(2n))))) =(1/(4n))(ψ(((n+1)/(2n)))−ψ((1/(2n))))×(1/(((n+1)/(2n))−(1/(2n)))) =(1/(2n)){ψ((1/(2n))+(1/2))−ψ((1/(2n)))}

Yes, this is correct! I made an extremely big mistake of doing whatever I want with nonconverging integrals...
