SUMMARY
The integral of ln(x)/x^3 with respect to x can be approached using integration by parts. The user initially considered the substitution u=ln(x) but found it ineffective for finding the correct differential. The discussion highlights the importance of integration techniques, particularly integration by parts, in solving complex integrals.
