Integration Help Needed: How to Solve This Messy Fraction?

[basty]

Anyone know how to integrate this?

$\int{\frac{(1 + x^2)}{(1 - x^2)\sqrt{1 + x^4}}dx}$

Please give me a hint as I even don't know what to do.

Where did this show up? It doesn't appear to have an elementary antiderivative.

This is what Wolfram gives so I'm not even going to attempt. Surely there's an easier answer or maybe the problem was written down wrong?

Just a quick comment: \sqrt[4]{-1}=e^{\frac{i\pi}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) (and, of course, the three others).

i believe this is a partial fraction decomposition problem? It doesn't look nice and clean like other integrals but if you have a good understanding of algebra it is possible :p
