[tex]\int \ell^{x^2} x^2 dx[/tex]

[tex]= 1/2 \int \ell^{x^2} x^2 d(x^2)[/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 \int \ell^{t} . t dt[/tex] (Let x^2 = t )
[tex]= 1/2 [t.\ell^{t} - \int \ell^{t} dt][/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 [t.\ell^{t} - \ell^{t} + c ][/tex]
[tex]= 1/2 [x^2 \ell^{x^2} - \ell^{x^2} + c][/tex]

[tex]\ell[/tex] is actually exponential. I don't know the code for exponential. :)
What`s the problem with the above integration I have done?

Well you set [tex]t= x^2[/tex] but you don't have [tex]d(x^2)[/tex] in the original integral, just integrate by parts you don't really have to make a substitution.

The error lies in line #2, you are changing dx into d(x2), that requires an x, that'll left you with:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex] not [tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x ^ 2 e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex]. Or you can do a little bit more slowly by letting t = x2. Just try it, and see if you can get to:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2)[/tex].
From here, you can do the same and end up with:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \int x e ^ {x ^ 2} d(x ^ 2) = \frac{1}{2} \int x d(e ^ {x ^ 2})[/tex].
From here, do you know what to do next?
