for sure the question is a great one...

and yes Lois , for sure its integrable...

to solve this a person must have a good knowledge of polylogarithmic functions and yes, not to to forget a lot of patience,a lot....it reguire a lot of heart to get solving it...........

But not many would have read about it i suppose....thats the reason they think it to be non integrable...

MR.IITIAN007 is correct in his approach.......

and yes, i tried to solve it and its soluton is of about 8 pages,with its final answer ,without limits to be of 15 lines itself...

its quite tough and time consuming...lois ,i suggest you don't heck your head too much at it...it holds less imp. but, do get to study polylogarithmic function, inverse hyperbolic functions...just for a little interest..

and heres what i 'm getting just don't get scared........

and yes..i have checked it with the integrator...I was correct...

I myself cannot write it all out here its time consuming(as my typing speed is too low) so, get to..."the wolfram integrator" its reliable..but a few of the expressions in its sollution can be simplified..just have a look..

denominator is = (cosx-sinx)(1+sin2x)
put cosx+sinx=t
(cosx-sinx)dx=dt
t^2=1+sin2x, sin2x=1-t^2;

integral{dt/((cosx-sinx)^2*(1+sin2x)=dt/(1-sin2x)*(1+sin2x)

dt/(2-t^2)*(t^2)

split it up into 2 integrals by partial fractions solve
