Oh, Fine then.Cheers.

just wrote 1/t as ln(t) with limits

Then solved the last value with calculator. Your way is better. Sometimes simple stuff dont come in my mind. LOL

Ah! Yours is much better! I did it using 2 substitutions x 2015 = u , 1 u 1 + u = v {x}^{2015} = u, \frac{1-u}{1+u} = v

same solution @Vishwak Srinivasan

Ω = 0 1 1 ( x 2015 + 1 ) 2016 2015 d x Ω = 1 d u u 2 ( ( 1 u ) 2015 + 1 ) 2016 2015 = 1 u 2014 d u ( 1 + u 2015 ) 2016 2015 substitute u = 1 x Ω = 1 2015 2 u 2016 2015 d u = u 1 2015 2 substitute u = 1 + u 2015 Ω = ( 1 2 ) 1 2015 Ω 2015 = 1 2 \begin{aligned} &\Omega=\int_0^1 \frac{1}{\left ( x^{2015}+1 \right )^\frac{2016}{2015}} dx \\ &\Omega=\int_{\infty}^1 \frac{-\frac{du}{u^2}}{\left ( \left (\frac{1}{u} \right )^{2015}+1 \right )^\frac{2016}{2015}} = \int_1^\infty \frac{u^{2014}du}{\left ( 1+u^{2015} \right )^\frac{2016}{2015}} && {\color{#D61F06} \text{substitute } u = \frac{1}{x}}\\ &\Omega=\frac{1}{2015} \int_2^\infty u^\frac{-2016}{2015} du=\left . -u^\frac{-1}{2015} \right |_2^\infty && {\color{#D61F06} \text{substitute } u = 1+u^{2015}} \\ &\Omega= \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^\frac{1}{2015}\\ &\Omega^{2015}=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
