The Norbert H and Jason M Kluga science, math and engineering blog. Dedicated to the science discussions I would have with my grandfather Norbert and great uncle John and to the artistic influence of my grandmother Lorraine. And most of all, to my late mother who grounded me and nurtured my passion for science, engineering and music.

integration of t/(t^4+2) : Using u-sub to set up a trig substitution
The integral looks unruly, but can be easily solved after one round of u-substitution by setting u = t^2, so that du = 2tdt and after the constant of 1/2 is pulled out, the remaining integral is in perfect form for a trig. substitution using u = a*tan(x)
