A problem with Integration by Parts in Hartle's "Gravity"

Abtinnn · Mar 24, 2015

Hi guys!

I am reading the book "Gravity" by Hartle. I came across this scary-looking integral. The author does integration by parts and I don't get how he does it. Could someone guide me please?

Relevant equations:

∫u dv = uv - ∫v du

Sorry - I'm new to the physics forum and posted nothing as a reply by mistake. See if this helps:
