$$\int\frac{{e}^{{w}} }{{w}^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} }{dw},\:{n}\in\mathbb{N} \\ $$

this reminds me of Γ(x)=∫_0 ^∞ e^(−t) t^(x−1) dt  ∫e^w w^(−n−1) dw=       [v=w^(−n)  → dw=−(w^(n+1) /n)dv]  =−(1/n)∫e^(1/(v)^(1/n) ) dv  this is a special integral called incomplete  gamma function. I found this online  ∫e^(1/(v)^(1/n) ) dv=(−1)^n nΓ(−n, −(1/(v)^(1/n) ))  ⇒ −(1/n)∫e^(1/(v)^(1/n) ) dv=−(−1)^n Γ(−n, −(1/(v)^(1/n) ))=  =−(−1)^n Γ(−n, −w)+C  sorry cannot further explain...
