but then was Jesus told I tried to integrate Ln of one month into the expired couldn't because I didn't have any special function for it but today I do so we'll see how to finish this right here of course we will take a used substitution let u equal to e to the X and we see that D U is equal to e to the X DX and DX is equal to tu over e to the X wh...

Questions & Answers

Q: How does Jesus approach the integration of Ln(1-x)?

Jesus uses a substitution method, setting u equal to e^x, and rewrites the integral as Ln(1-u). He then integrates Ln(1-u) using a power series expansion.

Q: What is the polylogarithm function?

The polylogarithm function, denoted as Li_s(x), is defined as a series where the index n ranges from 1 to infinity. It is used to express integrals and has a connection to the Riemann zeta function.

Q: How is the polylogarithm function related to the Riemann zeta function?

The polylogarithm function is related to the Riemann zeta function when x=1. When x=1, Li_s(x) equals the Riemann zeta function.

Q: What is the connection between the polylogarithm function and the concept of the "best friend"?

L I_0(x) is equal to x times the "best friend" function. Jesus mentions that he will discuss this connection further in a future video.

Summary & Key Takeaways
