Let z=tan−1 x
x=tan z

dz= 2
dx
1+ x

Our new bounds of integration are, z 1=tan−1 0=0 , and z 2=tan−1 (tan (1 ))¿1

Our new integral now becomes

We will make another substitution to make our equation easier to solve.
Let u = z 2, z=√ u
du=2 zdz
dz=du/2 z

Now this is similar to the integral representation of the Beta function (B)

Where the gamma function properties are

Γ ( 12 )=√ π
Γ ( a+ 1 )=a Γ ( a )
