i was trying to integrate [itex]\frac{1}{(t^2+1)^2}[/itex]
By factoring it into [itex]\frac{1}{(t+i)^2(t-i)^2}[/itex] and then doing partial fractions.
then integrating each term using a u substitution. Ok but then how do I get the real part out of this solution. I know the arctan(t) can be extracted out of stuff of this form.
