# Closed Form of a really difficult Integral

I became very interested in the closed form for the following Integral:$\int_{0}^{\Large\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1}{(1+x^2)(1+\tan x)}\,\mathrm dx$ No known $$exact$$ Closed Form for this Integral exists so far (well not to my knowledge at least). However, I thought I would post it as members of the community might be interested in finding its Closed Form.  Happy solving!

I'll delete this link as soon as you see it for the same reason as what I mentioned to Soumya. Just tell me when you see it, please.

Please don't mass @mention too many people at once. I'm fine with you @mentioning me but but please keep it to a maximum of 4 people at once. Those 4 will feel more inclined to respond in that case.

Really sorry for doing that.

have you tried this

Could you please remove the reference to that problem? This is because some people might use what will perhaps appear subsequently in a manner which would not do justice to that problem.

Yeah, but that's an $$approximate$$ form. By the way, I hope I'm not breaking a rule by hoping to get people interested in finding and exact Closed Form. If I am, I'll delete it immediately.

The closed form of the above integral can only be found by an excellent approximation, as said by tunk-fey araiawan.i provided the link for furthur details and assumption about the problem, as soon as anyone comes up with a solution to your doubt,i will immediately remove the link.

and no , dont delete the note, i am okay with it.
