Integral Logarithm

In summary, a logarithm integral is a special type of integral that involves the natural logarithm function and is commonly used in various fields to solve problems involving exponential growth and decay. There is no general formula for solving logarithm integrals, but they can be solved using various integration techniques. They cannot be solved using a calculator and have several interesting properties, such as the logarithmic product rule and the fact that they are closely related to the natural logarithm function.

Hint

$\displaystyle \sum H_k x^k = -\frac{\log(1-x)}{1-x}$
